Fund
What
is the funding for?
Established in 2009, this is the only fund that the
foundation now runs and supports genuinely innovative ideas
and unusual partnerships across their cultural, educational
and social interests.This fund could help community groups
to scope a new idea which enables them to work together with
other organisations or experts outside their usual practice,
or to enable them to undertake active research into areas
they would not normally have the time or money to explore.
How
much money is available?
As
a guide Amounts of between £10,000 and a maximum of
£25,000 are usually the maximum available.
NB
The funds available for Innovation grants are modest in scale
and competition is likely to be strong.
Who
can apply?
Any charitable organisations.
