Faiths in Action is a £4 million grants programme for faith, inter faith, voluntary and community sector organisations at national, regional and local levels in England.
Faiths in Action aims to bring faith communities together, promoting understanding, dialogue and partnerships.
The second application round for Faiths in Action funding has had to be postponed until later this year. Guidance notes, including information on deadlines for applications, will be released in due course.
Applying for a Faiths in Action grant: Faiths in Action funds both new and existing projects. We welcome those that support women and young people. You can also apply in partnership with another group or organisation if this helps your project.
In your application, you must show how your project relates to one or more of the fund’s four priorities:
A. Developing the confidence and skills to "bridge" and "link"
B. Supporting shared spaces for interaction and social action
C. Developing structures and processes which support dialogue and social action
D. Improving opportunities for learning which build understanding
There is no formal deadline for applications – Round 2 is a rolling programme. Applications will be accepted in the date and time order that they are received by CDF, until the total value of the eligible, relevant applications received equals the overall value of the fund.Grants will be distributed from April 2010 and will fund activities that take place between April 2010 and March 2011.
