Subject - Food and Finance Fund

Posted : (Thursday 29th May 2008 ) By - Jane (Registered User)The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation is launching
a new funding strand based on Food and a Finance Fund.

Food: Aims to promote an understanding of the role of
food in enhancing quality of life. The Foundation is
interested in work that influences policy and practice
across a range of food-related areas, enabling as many
people in the UK as possible to access, prepare and eat
nutritious, sustainable food.
The budget is £3million over the next three years.

Finance Fund: Offers financing to projects or organisations
that can demonstrate the need for investment and the capacity
to manage the demands of non-grant funding. Arrangements could
include loans, guarantees, equity or quasi-equity finance.
At this stage, the programme will not be open to unsolicited applications.
Up to £15million will be available for funding of this kind.
