Central Lakes Trust provides funding to charitable causes within the Central Lakes region. Our funding focuses on the following sectors:
Lifelong Learning
To support projects and programmes that facilitate improved learning outcomes for people in our region by adding value to the sector, with a focus on community development and lifelong learning.
To support creative projects and organisations that aim to foster access to, engagement with, and experience in, the arts and celebrate the different cultures in our region.
To support projects and organisations that preserve and promote the physical and cultural heritage of our region and that protect and enhance the environment in which we live.
As one of the largest philanthropic trusts per capita in the Southern Hemisphere, we support charitable projects throughout our region to enhance the community and the lives of the people within.
These grants are administered by the four Community Arts Councils in the Central Lakes Trust region to increase, at a local level, both participation in the arts and the diversity of arts available to the community.
