GrantScape offers a bespoke service for Landfill Operators seeking a professional and innovative grant-making charity to manage and allocate their donations under the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF). Since 1997, we have distributed over £65 million of Landfill Tax money and have a proven track record.
GrantScape’s LCF grant programmes provide the following benefits:
- No additional cost to the Landfill Operator
- No administrative work for the Landfill Operator
- Agreed branding to promote the Landfill Operator’s organisation
- Agreed grant funding criteria
- Transparency of decision-making criteria
- Management of the contributing third party (CTP) payments
- Web-based, paper-free application procedure
- Support for applicants throughout the process
- Long-term management of assets (required by ENTRUST)
It is our standard procedure to establish an independent local advisory group to make recommendations on those projects that should receive grants. The Landfill Operator is encouraged to nominate someone to be a member of this group.
GrantScape offers all of the above for a maximum of 10% of the Landfill Tax donations given by the Landfill Operator so as to cover our costs in administering the grant programme. Importantly, any of this 10% not spent on administration, plus any interest accrued from the donations received, will be given out as grants.
