Who cannot apply

We cannot accept applications from:

• individuals or sole traders
• organisations based outside the UK
• companies that can pay profits to directors, shareholders or members (including companies limited by shares)
• organisations applying on behalf of another organisation (unless you’re applying together as a partnership)
• organisations applying to another of our funds for the same project at the same time

Only one application per project

You can only apply to one of our funds for the same project at any one time.

For example, you can apply to Reaching Communities. If that’s not successful, you can then apply to National Lottery Awards for All for the same project, but not both at once.

You can still apply to Reaching Communities if you already have funding from another programme, as long as you're not applying for something that's already covered by that funding.
