The charity I work for is funded by banks and big lottery fund : will my wage be Halal ?

السؤال

I have some questions regarding employment. I work in the nonprofit sector so for charities and community organizations. My first question is when applying to these jobs sometimes they state the funding has been granted from such and such organization. This organizations sometimes is the big lottery fund and also banks such a loyds TSB. They give grants to organizations for staff salaries and projects. If when applying this is stated to you, is the money Halal for you ? if it is not stated and once you start working you find out who the funder is, if the money is from such organizations, are you required to leave this job ? The second aspects of this is. I have worked in roles where you need to apply for funding. Now organizations which are Muslim and non Muslim both look at funding applications from banks and the big lottery fund. There is a lot of funding available from them. Can you apply for funding from such organizations ? I have been told that if you yourself directly apply for this funding but do not take any money directly from this then it is allowed. You can give it to other staff but not directly benefit from this. Please can you clear this up for me as a lot of funding in this sector today does come from the big lottery fund and also banks and I have seen a lot of Muslims applying for this for projects in the community and staff salaries. There is an increase in this. The projects themselves are really beneficial to the community but I do not know if this source of funding is Halal. Jazakallah Khairan
