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.  

 

This section lists all the Lottery funders.  The Millennium Commission are not listed here because they are not open to applications for grants.
