    Brief

    The National Lottery Community Fund is conducting research to review and improve how it distributes funding across the UK. The Evidence and Impact team is leading this project to examine how the organisation can better allocate its budget using current data and evidence. The research will focus on: exploring new approaches to distribute National Lottery funding based on the latest information; aligning the Budget Funding Formula with the Fund's policy priorities and updated funding strategy; ensuring consideration of the full range of community needs across different regions; and creating a fair and equitable system for sharing awards across four UK nations and the UK Portfolio. This research supports the Fund's commitment to equity-based funding decisions and demonstrates how communities and organisations can make a positive impact. Suppliers and researchers with expertise in funding distribution models, equity analysis, data-driven policy development, or public fund allocation are encouraged to engage with this opportunity.
