The Millennium Commission is leaving a £100 million lasting legacy for people across
the UK.
The Rt. Hon. Tessa Jowell MP, Chair of the Millennium Commission, has announced
the establishment of the Millennium Awards Trust, a £100 million permanent endowment
fund that will ensure people across the UK will continue to benefit from Lottery
money, through the Millennium Awards Scheme, for years to come.

The new fund will enable people across the UK to apply for grants to undertake projects
to benefit themselves and their community. It will be administered by UnLtd – The
Foundation for Social Entrepreneurs, a charity set up by seven leading UK organisations
in 2000.

In fact, the announcement of the fund was first made in December 2000, but it has
taken since then to establish the trust and transfer the money to UnLTD.
