Lloyds TSB Foundation Northern Ireland increased its grant giving from £1.966 million
to £2.129 million last year, according to its latest annual report.

The Foundation is one of Northern Ireland’s largest grant givers, with a particular
emphasis on social and community needs and education and training. While the Foundation
has an international grants programme, the standard grants programme is the largest
source of funding for community organisations.

The annual report for 2011 shows that under the standard grants programme 152 grants
or 47% of grants were allocated to community service with other grants made to advice
services (9%), disability (10%), promotion of health (13%), civic responsibility(
4%), cultural enrichment (7%) and education and training (10%).

£2.6 million.

The Foundation’s next deadline for grant applications is 12 October 2012.
