The Big Lottery Fund is the largest Lottery distributor.  

 

We are responsible for giving out half the money raised by the National Lottery for good causes: 14 pence of every pound spent on a Lottery ticket. 

 

Our mission is to bring real improvements to communities and the lives of people most in need. Our remit covers health, education, environment and charitable purposes.

BIG is an outcomes funder, meaning that our focus is on the difference our funding makes, rather than on the organisations that receive the funding.  

 

We can make grants to organisations in the public and private sectors and the third sector. However, we recognise the vital role that the third sector has in helping us achieve those outcomes.  

 

We know that the sector is hugely successful in reaching out to grass roots in communities, engaging people and inspiring confidence, where others may find it difficult. And we think that a strong and well-resourced third sector is crucial to a healthy and well-functioning society.  

 

We deliver funding programmes across the UK. For more information on available funding please visit our website: www.biglotteryfund.org.uk
