Howard Lake | 5 August 2004 | News
The Commission for Racial Equality has announced its second funding cycle this year, inviting bids from community-based organisations to deliver specialist race equality projects.
The remaining £380,000 in grants under the Getting Results funding framework will be announced in October 2004 and awarded in December.
The CRE wants to fund innovative projects “that deliver real benefits for all of Britain’s communities”. It will also invest in capacity building work for organisations, particularly those in areas experiencing community tensions. This funding is to help them work more effectively in areas like financial and business management; project planning and management; fundraising and partnership working.
