The National Lottery Community Fund distributes National Lottery funding across the UK in partnership with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and the license holder for The National Lottery, Allwyn. It prioritizes community-led projects that strengthen social connections and wellbeing by listening to communities and pursuing bolder change, operating through five portfolios across the UK and three funding streams: small grants, larger grants, and partnership grants. Based in London, England, the fund functions as a major nationwide actor in the non-profit sector. Its work spans England, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and the UK, with a focus on building resilient, inclusive, and environmentally sustainable communities. Each portfolio is governed by a committee of non-executive members that makes funding decisions across the three streams.
