Eric Wright Charitable Trust Grants (Lancaster District)

Lancaster District CVS (Eric Wright Charitable Trust)

The Eric Wright Charitable Trust offers small grants to smaller local organisations working in the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector. The money helps you provide activities that make a positive difference to the lives and wellbeing of people of any age. You can apply for a grant of up to £500. Lancaster District CVS runs the fund on behalf of the Eric Wright Charitable Trust, through the LDCVS Bay Foundation. This fund suits small groups with modest budgets. Your organisation must have an annual income of less than £50,000. You do not need to be a registered charity to apply, so unregistered community groups can apply too. The fund is open now and you can apply at any time. Decisions are made in the middle of the month after you apply, so plan ahead if your activity has a fixed start date. If you have had a grant from this fund before, you are welcome to apply again. Lancaster District CVS publishes guidance notes with more information about the trust. Read these before you start your application. If you would like help completing your application, you can telephone Lancaster District CVS on 01524 555900. The team can answer questions about the fund and how to fill in the form. One practical point to keep in mind: the fund is only for organisations with an annual income below £50,000. If your income is £50,000 or more, you will not be eligible. Official source: https://lancastercvs.org.uk/funding-opportunities/. Official source: https://lancastercvs.org.uk/funding-opportunities/.
