The RIBA Local Initiative Fund (LIF) is an annual grant-making initiative, designed to act as an enabling fund for the development of projects, initiatives, and activities.
Applications are welcomed from the extensive global network of volunteer, member-led branches, chapters, and groups affiliated with RIBA and must be able to support the delivery of the key priorities as presented in the RIBA 2022-23 Biennial Action Plan.
Please note, this round of LIF applications has now closed for 2023.
“The RIBA Local Initiative Fund empowers a wide range of grassroots member activities, so it’s exciting to see this improved for 2023 with a larger budget and clearer support for volunteers.
By committing LIF to projects, RIBA can help unlock the potential of your ideas by attracting other supporters, or enabling activities that may not be possible otherwise.
None of the fantastic activity we see – from school workshops to exhibitions, publications to building visits – would be possible without the ideas, time, and energy that RIBA members volunteer.
This years, improved guidance and support will help focus all our efforts where it matters: making things happen. I can’t wait to see what next year brings!”
– Tom Foggin, Vice President Membership
