Deadline looms for Manx lottery awards

The deadline is approaching to apply for Manx Lottery Trust funding.

Charity trustees meet for the last time next month to review applications before the deadline on November 5th.

There are currently three programmes available:

• Community Awards which aim to ’help to improve communities and the lives of people most in need’ for amounts between £2,501 and £50,000.
• Smaller Grants, aimed at local communities, for amounts between £300 and £2,500 (funded by MLT).
• Dormant Assets Fund aimed at charities, community groups, not-for-profits and social enterprises to ’help them adapt to future challenges, be more financially resilient and have increased skills and capacity’.

Organisations can apply for up to £50,000 for between one and three years, distributed by MLT on behalf of the treasury.

Over the past 33 years, the Manx Lottery Trust has distributed more than £10.8m to good causes on the Isle of Man.
