Alongside Voluntary Centre Services (VCS), Lincolnshire Community & Voluntary Services have taken on the co-ordination for the Lincolnshire Funding Advice Network (LFAN).

The aim of the network is to:

  • Promote funding advice to the community and voluntary sector.
  • Share best practice of funding.
  • Maintain an information sharing network.
  • Promote grant funding opportunities.
  • Liaise with regional funding networks for the benefit of Lincolnshire.
  • Help to generate new ideas for funding.
  • Support networking between funders and organisations.

Please see Our Terms of Reference document for more details.

There are usually 3/4 meetings each year for LFAN members mainly online. These bring together funders and funding advisers to talk about grant schemes and funding priorities. This year’s meetings are as follows:

  • To Be Confirmed.

To become an LFAN member, your organisation must either:

  • Be a statutory body (for example, a local authority or school).
  • Support and promote the community and voluntary sector.
  • Provide grant funding to the community and voluntary sector.
  • Provide funding advice to the community and voluntary sector.
