Not-for-profit organisations led by and for under-represented groups within the LGBT+ community in England can apply for a share of £465,000 in funding to help them stay well resourced, sustainable and resilient.

This Fund will award grants of up to £25,000 to intersectional small grassroots organisations for projects that prioritise a specific range of five LGBT+ groups. The priority groups are deaf and disabled, women, ethnic minorities, older people and Trans and Non-Binary.

The funding is made available by the Consortium of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Voluntary and Community Organisations, in partnership with the National Lottery Community Fund, and is intended to be as flexible as possible.

Community Panels will assess applications in batches. Applicants will be advised on the success of their application within a maximum four months of applying but it is hoped to be much quicker than that. 

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the 30 October 2022.
