Faiths in Action: NOT just faith groups - women a priority - rolling programme

Faiths in Action is a £4 million grant programme, distributed over two years in
two rounds of funding.  In the first round, 216 organisations were offered
grants of up to £12,000, totalling over £2.43 million.

Round 2 is now open for applications.

Faiths in Action is for local projects and activities, and is open to faith,
inter faith, voluntary and community sector organisations at national, regional
and local levels in England.

The maximum size of a grant in Round 2 is £6,000.

There is no formal deadline for applications - Round 2 is a rolling programme.

Applications will be accepted in the date and time order that they are received
by CDF, until the total value of the eligible, relevant applications received
equals the overall value of the fund.

Grants will be distributed from April 2010 and will fund activities that take
place between April 2010 and March 2011.

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
