Background:
The Foundation became a Charitable Trust in June 2002. It is a grant making charity that helps people in need and other charities throughout Lincolnshire, including the two Unitary Authorities South of the Humber.
How we Work:
We get money from government, businesses, private individuals and other UK trusts. Our trustees agree to support various themes like children’s projects and disability access. We publicise our grant programmes and their eligibility criteria – see Grants page. We invite applications from people in need. Our Grants Officers help applicants and assess bids. Then, periodically, our Panels make their assessment and give grants to successful groups.
