Voluntary Organisations - Funding: Outline
The concept of external funding - the means by which an organisation obtains finance from other organisations with which to run activities - is well known to those voluntary, community and statutory organisations who receive their annual incomes from a variety of sources.
This may be either directly through grants of some kind, or through organised, general fund-raising appeals, subscriptions, sponsorships and/or revenue from activities. Applying for external funds for the delivery of specific projects is still, however, new to many locally based organisations and community groups.
