Charities encouraged to
apply for money from the Channel Island Lottery
(18 January 2007)
The Association of Guernsey Charities would like to remind all members that applications for a share of the Christmas Lottery proceeds need to be made by the end of next month.
Charitable organisations, which must be a member of the Association of Guernsey Charities in order to receive money from the lottery, can apply for a grant towards any project that they are undertaking in Guernsey during 2007.
Any charity wishing to apply for a share of the funds will need to complete a Grant Application Form and return this to the Association with any supporting documents, and a full set of their annual accounts.
The 2006 Christmas lottery was the most successful ever, with the jackpot reaching £447,500. Each year, the proceeds from the Christmas Lottery are split between Jersey and Guernsey, and distributed to local charities. The money has to be used for projects within the island, and the Association of Guernsey Charities is always keen to support a wide variety of local good causes.
There are currently 235 local organisations that are members the Association of Guernsey Charities and information about applying for a share of the lottery funds was sent to all members in November. If any charity would like further details they can contact the Association by email at: mail@charity.org.gg or alternatively by contacting the Secretary on telephone 235851.
The closing date for applications is Wednesday 28th February.
