Michael Cornish Core Grants Programme

Thanks to a significant donation from Michael and Sue Cornish, the Lincolnshire Community Foundation presents the Michael Cornish Core Grants Programme which aims to empower and support the resilience of community organisations with the potential to change lives across Lincolnshire for the better. The programme is designed to address the need for support with revenue and running costs that many groups across the County mention when speaking with the foundation. This Programme presents an opportunity for organisations making a real difference in the lives of Greater Lincolnshire's most vulnerable residents to benefit from help to run their services or activities. Grants of up to £10,000 can be applied for by prospective applicants for revenue costs, including running costs, and small capital costs. Projects must align with priority themes including support for young people, care leavers, families, homeless/ex-offenders, victims of domestic abuse or sexual violence, alleviating poverty, core strength, and isolation/mental health issues. Please note that the scheme is currently closed to applications due to exceptional demand experienced in the first round.
