The Department for Social Development iin Northern Ireland is seeking applications
for its £3m Modernisation Fund by 10 January 2006. The fund is directed at existing
charities, voluntary and community organisations (or partnerships of organisations)
and social economy enterprises that are already involved in delivering services.

This initiative aims to give the voluntary and community sector an opportunity 
to modernise, reorganise and reposition itself, so as to become more sustainable
and more able to deliver new and better services in an era of inevitable change.

Voluntary and community organisations are invited to submit applications showing
how can deliver services in a new or improved way, more cost effectively and efficiently
particularly through meaningful partnership arrangements.
