[cma-l] ENGLAND ONLY - Communitybuilders fund criteria agreed -

[Jaqui Devereux]

The Communitybuilders fund will provide loans and grants to help 
community-based organisations in England that boost interest in local 
democracy and improve community cohesion.

The funding criteria say organisations must have plans to become less 
dependent on grant finance, be controlled by local people and or groups 
and have a track record of working in the communities they are based in.

Cash from the fund will fall largely into three areas: a development 
package, which will consist of business support and grants of £2,000 for 
staff training; a feasibility package, which will include further 
business support and grants of up to £20,000 for project development, 
with up to £75,000 available for some larger projects; and tailored 
investment packages, which will consist of loans of between £50,000 and 
£2m to help organisations expand their role in the community.
