How much is on offer: Since launching in 2004, 238 organisations have benefited from more than £110m. The minimum investment package available is £50,000.
What it will fund: Futurebuilders invests in organisations that deliver services in various areas including crime; community cohesion; education; support for children and young people; and health and social care.
Who can apply: Charities, social enterprises, and community and voluntary groups can all apply. But they need to be either existing public service delivery organisations that want to do more, organisations planning to take their first steps into public service delivery, or new and existing service providers that want to deliver public services in a different way.
