Over the course of 2026 most of the contracts currently funding LANSS come to an end. There is therefore an urgent need to bid for and win further funding from current and/or other funders.
Our requirement is for an individual or organisation, to undertake the following as a consultancy contract: • Engage with identified potential funding sources, evaluate the opportunities, and where possible, apply for funding to support the work of LANSS • Explore, engage with and apply to any other available funding sources for which LANSS is eligible to apply given its current status. • Explore and engage with and evaluate funding sources for which LANSS will be eligible once a charity. • Make justified recommendations for other funding approaches that LANSS could consider.
