Launched on 23 June 2006 at the Glasgow-held Civicus World Assembly, the three-year fellowship will study funding issues frequently faced by the civil society organisations.
SCVO will work in partnership with Civicus, International Alliance for Citizen Participation and the Big Lottery Fund to develop a programme that will explore the concept of ‘intelligent funding’ and how it can be most effectively delivered in a way that will have a lasting impact on communities and individuals most in need.
