New fund to provide small grants to community groups
In the budget the other day came the announcement of a new £80 million fund to provide small grants to community groups. 'The fund will be distributed over four years by local grant makers with the greatest knowledge of their areas and local community groups.'
Once upon a time, this sort of funding all went through local authorities. Not sure who 'local grant makers' are but the details are being worked out as part of the final stage of the Third Sector Review.

New Zealand has been doing this for twenty years; its a much loved program. The local grantmakers are elected and trained.
