Types of funding

We offer three different types of grant funding:

• Central gateway grants offer an opportunity for organisations to apply for strategic funding in order to help deliver Lancashire County Council's strategic priorities.

• Local Gateway grants offer an opportunity for Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector organisations to apply for funding to help deliver local and Lancashire County Council priorities.

• Local grants enable each county councillor to put forward proposals for expenditure which they can spend to enhance the well-being of people who live in their area (division).

You can apply for any or all three. Applications for funding must show value for money or best value and must support activities that are clearly working towards one or more of the council's corporate objectives.

Useful toolkits are available to help you apply for each grant.
