Grant Fund £20M - To Encourage Social Action

Posted by Unknown Monday, January 23, 2012 1 comments
The Social Action Fund is a new grant Fund of over £20 million, managed by us on behalf of the Office for Civil Society. The Fund’s second window opened 9 Jan 2012 and will close noon 3 Feb 2012.
The Fund aims to inspire organisations to create new social action opportunities through people giving what they have, be that their time, their money, or their assets, knowledge and skills.
The Fund will support social action applications that cover the following themes:
  • Encourage people to come together in their locality to support each other: Projects that include plans to scale proven models to regional or national levels, or replicate them in other localities. Some priority will be given to models that encourage those who do not traditionally get involved as volunteers
  • Focus on the different life stages of volunteering
The Social Action Fundis open to applications to fund social action projects in England from civil society organisations, public sector bodies and businesses with a track record of delivering social action programmes.
Please note that you must first ensure your proposal meets the new eligibility criteria for the Fund prior to applying. If you were unsuccessful in the previous round please refer to the guidance notes.

Nomination for 2012 CNN Heroes

Posted by Unknown 0 comments
A CNN Hero's journey to global recognition begins with a nomination by someone who's been touched by their efforts -- someone like you who wants us to share their story with the world. Nominations must be in the name of a single individual, at least 13 years of age, whose accomplishment occurred (or continued) after September 1, 2011. Nominees in the "Young Wonder" category must be 25 years of age or younger. Groups and organizations are ineligible for consideration. Self-nominations will not be accepted. Citizens of voided countries are also ineligible.
Please make every effort to provide as much contact information as possible. We require either an email address or telephone number so we may quickly contact your nominee to obtain their permission for consideration as a CNN Hero.
