When will my organisation receive the funding?
Grants will be distributed from April 2010 and will fund activities that take place between April 2010 and March 2011.
What is the funding for?
Faiths in Action funds both new and existing projects. We welcome those that support women and young people. You can also apply in partnership with another group or organisation if this helps your project.
In your application, you must show how your project relates to one or more of the fund’s four priorities:
A. Developing the confidence and skills to "bridge" and "link"
B. Supporting shared spaces for interaction and social action
C. Developing structures and processes which support dialogue and social action
D. Improving opportunities for learning which build understanding
These priorities come from the Government’s framework, Face to Face and Side by Side
