* Average weekly amount raised for Good Causes based on National Lottery sales for financial year 2016/17.
Since 1995 there have been more than 500,000 grants made. All figures and information relating to beneficiaries has been sourced from the Department for Culture, Media & Sport Lottery Grants database and does not include grants from the Olympic Lottery Distribution Fund. We want you to be able to locate current and recent projects that are relevant to you, so for this reason we are not plotting all 500,000 funded projects on the map itself. You are still able to see a list of most of these alongside the map for reference. If you would like your National Lottery funded project to appear on this map please tell us about it here.
