 LOTTERY FUNDERS LISTING

What is a Lottery funder?

For every £1 that the public spends on Lottery tickets 28 pence goes to the Lottery good causes. These are the arts, charities and voluntary groups, heritage, health, education, the environment and sports. Lottery funders are the organisations that distribute the good causes money to local communities and national projects.  (The Millennium Commission is not listed here because they are not open to applications for grants.)
