What will it fund? There are two types of grant. Strategic grants are for work of national significance on improving outcomes for children, young people and families. These grants can be for: capacity building - such as staff training, developing quality standards, new resources and monitoring systems; specialist services with a specific client group; or infrastructure provision that provides a co-ordinating, representative or policy development role.

Projects will need to be easy to replicate and capable of scaling up.
