Supporting the development of people who contribute to their communities.
This may include:
- community leadership development
- skills and knowledge development
- mentoring and peer learning
- strengthening participation and community leadership
- developing the confidence and capability of people to contribute to community life.
Organisational and Sector Capability
Supporting organisations, networks and sectors to become stronger and more effective.
This may include:
- governance and organisational development
- strategic and business planning
- workforce and volunteer capability
- collaboration and partnership development
- strengthening systems, processes or ways of working
- evaluation, learning and impact capability
- developing approaches that can strengthen a broader sector or network.
What we are looking for
Strong proposals will clearly explain:
- what capability needs to be strengthened
- why this matters
- who will benefit
- how the activity will lead to stronger capability over time
- how the learning or benefit will continue beyond the funded activity.
