Answer
- P87/2019 Channel Islands Lottery: Allocation of proceeds from 2018, now withdrawn, stated:
Having seen proceeds from the Channel Islands Lottery grow significantly in recent years, the aim is to widen the distribution to increase benefits for the local community. It is proposed that future proceeds will be distributed as follows –
40% to registered charities and voluntary groups 20% to arts and culture
20% to heritage
20% to sport and active living.
- Lottery funds are independent of the Government and the Government Plan, which does not include any proposed grants for lottery funds.
- All lottery grants are funded through the sale of lottery tickets.
- The lottery funds are currently distributed by the Association of Jersey Charities in accordance with a service level agreement, once they have received applications from interested local organisations. Details of all grants allocated by the AJC are available on their website.
