The National Lottery Community Fund

The National Lottery Community Fund is the UK’s largest funder of community activity, helping people and communities to prosper and thrive.

Each year, our funding supports projects that matter most to communities, reaching around 5.2 million people across the country. Thanks to players of The National Lottery, we distribute over £600 million annually to support this vital work.

Organisations can apply for grants of up to £20,000, or for larger amounts over £20,001, depending on the scale and ambition of their project.
