Communities Secretary, John Denham, announced, at the national launch of England’s first–ever Inter Faith Week (15-21 November 2009), the second round of the Faiths in Action Fund. £2 million is being made available, with the aim of supporting local projects that have a clear focus on faith and inter-faith issues – and a direct link to one or more of the following four priorities:

Developing the confidence and skills to ‘bridge’ and ‘link’.
Supporting shared spaces for interaction and social action.
Developing structures and processes which support dialogue and social action.
Improving opportunities for learning which build understanding.
The Fund contributes to the delivery of the Government’s inter-faith strategy, Face- to-Face and Side-by-Side: A framework for partnership in our multi-faith Society (reported on POLICYfinder).

The maximum size of grant in Round Two will be £6,000.

The Fund is open to faith, inter-faith, voluntary and community sector organisations at national, regional and local level in England.

Unlike Round One, this funding round will operate as a rolling programme. Applications will be accepted in the date and time order that they are received by the Community Development Foundation, until the total value of the eligible, relevant applications received equals the overall value of the Fund.
