**The Commission for Racial Equality has announced its second funding cycle this
year, inviting bids from community-based organisations to deliver specialist race
equality projects.**

The remaining £380,000 in grants under the Getting Results funding framework will
be announced in October 2004 and awarded in December.

The CRE wants to fund innovative projects “that deliver real benefits for all of
Britain’s communities”. It will also invest in capacity building work for organisations,
particularly those in areas experiencing community tensions. This funding is to 
help them work more effectively in areas like financial and business management;
project planning and management; fundraising and partnership working.
