CLAN Edinburgh Challenge Fund

Here is information on the CLAN Edinburgh Challenge Fund which Capital City Partnership have been asked to circulate and which may be of interest.
The Challenge Fund supports bids to run innovative literacy projects. Any organisation can apply for a grant
Amounts vary: a small project might be awarded up to £5,000, but there is scope to £10,000 and some room for phased bids. There are take-up dates several times a year, and we can sometimes help identify potential partners

The date for the next round of the CLAN Edinburgh Challenge Fund submissions has been set as Friday 6th June 2008.

There will be a Briefing Session for potential applicants in the CLAN Edinburgh Office building (map attached) at 2.00pm (Registration/coffee – 1.45pm) on Wednesday 7th May 2008, which is obligatory for applicants who have not attended a previous briefing session. It is also recommended for other applicants who may not have attended a briefing since the pack was considerably revised in January 2007. If you wish to attend the Briefing Session, please contact Clark Dawson on Tel: 0131 270 6072 e-mail: clark@clanedinburgh.org to register in advance.
