Please note that the CSCF guidelines for the 2011 funding round are currently under review. The fund objectives will remain the same - but some of the forms and management processes may be tweaked slightly in response to feedback from stakeholders and to improve efficiency.
There will be a change to the start date for submission of concept notes which will now be 1st April. The deadline of 31st May will remain unchanged. This responds to our experience that the vast majority of applicants submit their Concept Notes in the last month before the deadline, and most on the last day.
If you are thinking about applying for the CSCF 2011 funding round, you can still use the current criteria and guidelines to start preparing your bid. However, please be sure you check the DFID website for the revised versions of the CSCF guidelines and forms before you submit your Concept Note. We aim to publish these at the beginning of March 2010.
The CSCF supports activities that:
The CSCF can provide up to £500,000 for a maximum of 5 years. Projects where the UK organisation has secured a degree of funding from other sources or is making a contribution of its own are welcomed, however. Up to 100% will be considered where no other funding is available.
The fund is suitable for UK-based, non-profit organisations.
The deadline for receipt of Concept Notes is 31 May and the deadline for full proposals is 31 July. Funding for successful projects will be from the following April.
