Introduction
The Mini Grants Scheme is aimed at organisations or networks with an interest in development education work in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales who want to undertake 1-3 year projects which seek to raise awareness and understanding:
Current Statues of the Mini Grants Scheme
We are currently in the design stage for a replacement funding mechanism following consultations with key stakeholders. It will again be for not-for-profit organizations that are seeking funding to raise public awareness and understanding of global poverty. But it will not be for work with the formal education system. Formal education support will be provided under new education programmes developed for each nation. More information will appear on our website in due course.
Management
The Mini Grants Scheme is managed on behalf of DFID by managing agents in each region of the UK,
Fund size
Funding allocations are decided through an annual competitive process, which is managed by DFID’s Mini Grant managing agents. DFID's contribution to a project will be a minimum grant of £1,000 and a maximum grant of £10,000 per year for up to 3 years.
Guidelines
The guidelines for the Development Awareness Fund Mini-Grants Scheme 2010/2011 are being considered and will be published soon.
