Funding

Funding is possibly the biggest collective headache facing the voluntary sector – figuring out where they are going to find their next round of funding from occupies a disproportionate amount of charities’ time.

So much so that in early 2009 the NCVO established a Funding Commission to explore how to transform the funding environment for the sector, to make it more sustainable and resilient.  After initial investigations the Commission decided to focus on three themes: capitalisation, stimulating giving, and local action. It is expected to publish recommendations at the end of 2009.
