  6. Lincolnshire Cooperative(3) Community Dividend Card Similar to the Dividend Card for individuals, groups have the opportunity to have a Community Dividend Card where you can collect points every time you shop with us. The difference is that groups are able to apply for several cards to give out to their members or friends that all collect towards the same cause. At the end of the year, for every £1 the group has collected we will match it and send the group a cheque. Lorna Newboult, [lnewboult@lincolnshire.coop]

You might be looking for funding to help with coaching of young kids or you may be after a grant to help buy a new boat or help renovate your current facilities. In the past we have given money to sports clubs to fund such things as a new female basketball team, or a sailing club wanting to kit out its new Yeoman 20 keelboat. We look for sports clubs that play an active role in the community. So if you are a sports club that helps its local community then you are very much the type of club that we are looking to help.

  12. Wakeham Trust The Trust does not favour any particular areas of activity. Most of the projects supported share some or all of these characteristics It is something new for this particular area. It doesn't matter if the idea is tried and tested in other parts of the country. If it is new for this community then we are interested in hearing about it. It is small. It does not employ staff. It is not well established. It has the potential to become self-supporting. It is outward looking and helps a lot of people It has a UK charity number, or can find a charity to accept funds on its behalf. They help the underdog and the unfashionable.They help groups who are usually considered recipients of voluntary action (for example old age pensioners or young offenders) when these people themselves become involved in helping other groups in the community. They normally give grants to projects where an initial £75 to £750 can make a real difference to getting the project up and running http://www.wakehamtrust.org/howtoapply.php
