Lloyds TSB Foundation easier application process

The Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales has unveiled a new
look website (http://www.lloydstsbfoundations.org.uk) with a clear
step-by-step guide to the application process, a range of case studies
and reports on current grants, and a new 'Media Guide' to generating
publicity.

Research showed that one in three people downloading the application
form did not also download the guidelines for applicants. The
Foundation primarily supports small to medium size charities, many
without a professional fundraiser and wanted to make it as simple as
possible for charities to submit an application by ensuring that
applicants have the tools needed to make a successful bid at their
fingertips.

Lloyds TSB Foundation want to make the application process very
straightforward by providing as much information as possible in
advance of the initial call to us, thus maximising charities' use of
their time and chances of success. By profiling previously funded
charities we hope to inspire other charities through reading about
successful work.

The new site incorporates a six-step walkthrough application guide
including an eligibility checklist; details of the types of
organisation and work which are funded and those that are not
eligible; the different funding programmes; downloadable application
form and guidelines; and an application check list.

The site that is clear, concise and easy to use with the six-step
application guide provided.

The Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales supports charities
that help disadvantaged people to play a fuller role in the community.
In 2006, the Foundation gave grants of £22.1million to 2,616
charities.
