Lovely idea, but it's only for the almost big boys and I quote....
"The minimum you can apply for is £500,000. We haven’t set a maximum but you should bear in mind that we’re looking to use the £5 million available to support around five proposals."
Hey ho, back to the grindstone of trying to finish my Reaching Communities bid, rejected once, about to be resubmitted. Second time lucky eh?

The Big Society Investment Fund (England)
The BIG Lottery Fund has announced that, in the run up to the launch of
the Big Society Bank, it has been asked by the Government to distribute
£5 million from dormant bank accounts social investment intermediary
organisations based in the UK that will provide social investment
products or services for social sector organisations that primarily
benefit people in England. Funding of up to £500,000 is available to
support social investment proposals that will enable intermediary
organisations to:
* Provide better support to organisations that improve the lives of
those in need
* Create a stronger and more dynamic social investment market that
is better equipped to lever funds from other sources
* Increase knowledge and learning about effective approaches that
achieve a financial return.
To be eligible to apply for funding applicants must be able to
demonstrate a strong track record in providing social investment
products or services, or have credible plans to acquire the skills,
experience and expertise you will need. Please note that the BIG
Lottery fund will not consider proposals from frontline social sector
organisations or individual projects.
BIG will accept two types of applications:
* Early Investments where projects can be implemented at an early stage
* Further Investments where further work is required before
projects can be implemented.
If you wish to be considered for Early investments; please send a
proposal by 2pm on Monday 4 July 2011 (there is no deadline for Further
investment proposals).

The Triangle Trust 1949 Fund Opens for Applications (UK)
The Triangle Trust 1949 Fund is currently inviting applications from
charity organisations to support projects that support; carers;
community arts and education; disability; older people; poverty;
integration and rehabilitation. Grants are normally in the range of
£1,000 and £10,000. Successful projects will either maintain an open,
inclusive society or promote integration (or reintegration) of
individuals or groups into society. Preference will be given to:
* smaller charities
* charities which serve a locality or region of the UK, rather than
national charities
* causes which find it more difficult to raise funds from the
general public.
Previous projects supported include:
* St Wilfrid's Drop in Centre in Sheffield which provides the
vulnerable and isolated support and a sense of belonging as well as
education to enable some clients to go on to paid employment.
* The Bucks Association for the Care of Offenders (BACO) which aims
to help offenders in the Bucks area to break their cycle of criminal
behaviour and integrate back into society.
The next application deadline is the 12th August 2011.
