Lloyds TSB Foundation Northern Ireland has changed its criteria to exclude organisations
with an income over £1 million.

The Foundation said it was taking this action because the increasing number of applications
were making the decision making process more difficult. In addition, the Foundation
said they were keen to ensure they stay in line with their overall aim, ‘to support
under funded charities’. It stated that this new eligibility criteria will stay 
in place for the foreseeable future and there will be no change in other guidelines.
Lloyds TSB’s average grant is between £3,000 and £4,000.

This is not the first time in recent years the Foundation has changed its criteria.
Two years ago it announced that it was reducing its top grant level to £5,000 and
only considering support for charities with a turnover of under £250,000. This restriction
was lifted last year.
