The Social Enterprise Investment Fund (SEIF) is offering capital grants of £50,000
to £450,000 to social enterprises delivering services in health or social care in
England. To be eligible organisations must demonstrate that they have been unable
to secure investment from a commercial bank.

Grants are available to purchase “tangible resources such as buildings, vehicles
or equipment [that] will help to grow and improve service delivery”. They can also
be used to pay for land, IT equipment, renovations, and some fees relating to capital
projects including solicitors, architects and surveyors.

The funding must be spent before 31 March 2011.
