Each month GoodFund has a budget of around £10,000 for individual projects in the North East.

Organisations and individuals can nominate a good cause in the region for funding from £500 up to £10,000. At regular meetings, our trustees will review all projects received and decide which projects can be supported.

The project has to help with one of the following:

- Children’s wellbeing
- Poverty relief
- Nature and wildlife conservation
- Community development

As the money is raised in the North East by the People's Postcode Lottery players, the beneficiaries also have to be based in the region.

The project has to have a clear purpose and show visible results of the support within three months of receiving the funding. The grant has to be administered by a UK registered charity.

You can nominate your favourite worthwhile project by:

• Downloading a nomination form (pdf), which you can then complete and return to GoodFund by post or fax
• Completing the online registration form
• Calling us on 0191 280 4349 to obtain a Nomination Form by post

Should you require any further information, please call GoodFund on 0191 280 4349 or email manuela@goodfund.org.
