The online application for grants from the Real Help for Communities: Modernisation Fund is now open.

Between now and 17 July, frontline third sector organisations with an annual turnover of between £150,000 - £750,000 are invited to apply for a £1,000 bursary from the Modernisation Fund Grants Programme which is being delivered by Capacitybuilders.

Using their bursary, organisations will be able to buy at least two days of advice and support to explore how they can become more resilient and work more closely with others, including through collaboration or merger.

From the Autumn, £10,000 grants will be available to help organisations that have gone through Phase One of the programme and would like to take further significant steps towards collaboration or merger.
