The Community Development Foundation (CDF) has been commissioned by the Cohesion
and Faith Unit of the Home Office to run the Faith Communities Capacity Building
Fund.

The fund, which covers England and Wales, will support faith and inter-faith groups/
organisations strengthen their capacity in order to play a fuller part in civil 
society/community cohesion. It will also fund inter-faith activities which increase
community cohesion.

The CDF is now inviting applications for small grants (up to £5,000) or large grants(
over £5,000) which are available between January 2006 to March 2007.
