The National Lottery Community Fund: LGBT+ Futures – Equality Fund

For organisations in England.

Consortium and its Community Collaborators, working in partnership with The National Lottery Community Fund, are delighted to announce the launch of the LGBT+ Futures: Equity Fund. This Fund has been enabled thanks to National Lottery players.

£465,000 is available through small grants to grassroots groups and organisations who are run by and for one or more of our 5 communities of focus.

For organisations in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Thanks to additional funding from Comic Relief, we are able to provide grants to user-led LGBT+ organisations based in one of the devolved nations.

£90,000 is available through small grants to grassroots organisations and projects run by and for one or more of our 5 communities of focus.

For all applications.

Our 5 communities of focus:
  • D/deaf, Disabled, Neurodivergent LGBT+ people.
  • LGBT+ People of Colour and People from Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnicities.
  • LGBTQI+ Women.
  • Older LGBT+ people.
  • Trans and Non-Binary people.

Grants will be available for organisational running costs, projects and organisational / leadership development and can range from £100 – £25,000.

This Fund is participative, meaning people with lived experiences of the broad thematic area/s your organisation is applying under will be making the decisions on what to fund.
We have produced a short video to introduce the Equity Fund to you and give you brief details of who can apply.

The video includes captions and BSL to make it more accessible.

You can also bring your questions to the Team at our weekly funding drop-in, which takes place on Zoom every Wednesday, 2pm – 3pm.
