Commission announces £10 million funding programme for voluntary and community sector
The Commission today announced a new £10.2 million Strategic Funding Programme, providing three-year project-based funding of up to £450,000 for community and voluntary sector organisations.
The Commission has carried out a public consultation to determine the future of our permanent funding programme. The consultation is now closed. A call for applications for the 2009/10 funding programme is expected to go out in May 2009. The aim is to move to a flexible funding model that is more closely linked to the Commission's emerging strategic priorities. The funding programme is a powerful way of working with voluntary and community organisations to deliver change at the local, regional and national level.
