Applications are now open from smaller charities for the two new funding programmes
from the Lloyds Bank Foundation for England and Wales. The two programmes – _Invest
and Enable_ – focus on reaching young people and adults facing multiple disadvantage
at key stages in their lives. They are open to charities in England and Wales with
an income between £25,000 and £1 million.

[Announced in January this year](https://www.fundraising.co.uk/2014/01/15/new-funding-strategy-announced-lloyds-bank-foundation-england-wales/),
the new funding programmes are designed to help charities achieve greater sustainability:
both will provide larger grants over a longer period of time. In addition the Foundation
aims, with its Enhance programme, to help charities build capacity.

## Funding programmes

The [Foundation’s programmes](http://www.lloydsbankfoundation.org.uk/our-programmes/)
offer the following support:

 * **Invest** – providing long term funding of core costs and delivery of [grants for charities](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/11/15/google-grants-for-charities/)
   of up to £25,000 per year for up to three years, with the opportunity for continuation
   funding for a further period of up to six years.
 * **Enable –** providing funding for smaller, shorter grants for charities with
   a clear development need. Grants up to a total of £15,000 are awarded for a maximum
   of two years.
 * **Enhance **– A programme working alongside the Invest or Enable programme providing
   an option of tailored in-kind support to strengthen and develop charities’ effectiveness.

[The Lloyds Bank Foundation](http://www.lloydsbankfoundation.org.uk) receives its
funding from Lloyds Banking Group through a nine year rolling funding agreement,
designed to provide a secure and sustainable approach to grant making. Last year
the Foundation awarded £19 million to 828 charities across England and Wales.
