Hello FOGies
 
Here is some information from Lloyds TSB Foundation which looks very promising.
 
BPFOG
 
 
Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales are currently looking for more registered charities from the Bournemouth and Poole area to contact them to discuss their funding needs this year.  Lloyds TSB Foundation has £25 million in grants to award this year throughout England and Wales and they are particularly looking to fund charities that provide longer term direct support to disadvantaged people in order for them to play a fuller role in the community.  Grants are often for salaries and revenue funding as NO capital funding is given.  
 
Beneficiaries must be specifically disadvantaged and the Foundation would prefer to hear from projects that are working in areas of recognised deprivation.  Registered charities with two or more years of accounts and less than 12 months in reserves may be eligible.  

For more information contact Grant Manager Lorraine Dabner on 07500 787 750 for an informal chat, or email her at here.  Alternatively, visit their website at www.lloydstsbfoundations.org.uk where you will also find an online eligibility questionnaire.
