**The Government’s Home Office, working with the Community Development Foundation,
has started accepting applications to its new Community Action Against Crime: Innovation
Fund. £5 million is available this year and next to projects within England or Wales
that encourage greater community activism and innovation in tackling local crime
issues that matter most to local communities.**

The emphasis is on building effective partnerships, and encouraging voluntary and
community organisations that have received little or no funding for this kind of
work in the past to work with community safety partnerships and other agencies/organisations
to co-design and co-deliver activities to cut crime.

Small Grants will be worth £1000 to £15,000 a year for up to two years. Year one
runs from 5 September 2011 to 31 March 2012. Year two runs from 1 April 2012 to 
31 March 2013. Projects must operate in a specific locality, not regionally or nationwide.
Applications are invited from voluntary and community organisations, social enterprises
and informal groups. Grants must be spent mainly on revenue rather than capital 
needs.

Large Grants will be worth between £15,001 and £50,000 a year for up to two years.
Otherwise the application details are much the same as for Small Grants. The main
additional element is a larger amount of initial documentation required to back 
up your application and establish your ability to handle a larger sum of money.
