Funding information service SMALLfri is once again sharing some funding news with UK Fundraising. The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) is about to launch a £3 million Ethnic Minorities Innovation Fund (EMIF) to provide financial support to voluntary and community groups working in partnership with local authorities to deliver better services to tackle homelessness within ethnic minority groups within England.
EMIF is in addition to the Homelessness Innovation Fund that we covered earlier this year.
