**The Cabinet Office is to provide up to £100,000 to help provide subsidised fundraising
training for small charities, to help them improve their fundraising.**

It will select between one and three training providers. Applicants are invited 
to apply for between £25,000 and £100,000 to run the programme of training between
mid-February and June 2016.

In this case small charities are defined as those with an annual income of up to
£1 million.

As well as providing the training, the successful applicant must also produce a 
complementary free fundraising resource, available freely both for those who attend
the course and the broader small charity sector.

To give applicants a sense of the scale that is expected from the selected supplier(
s), the Cabinet Office’s briefing document notes that “a previous OCS programme 
of £100k delivered 706 training opportunities to over 300 small charities”.
