Call for Ideas for third sector projects working to green public services. | |
Innovation Exchange is seeking high-potential third sector innovation projects that could participate in its new Green Next Practice Programme.
This programme will provide brokerage support to five or six third sector innovation projects with the potential to green public services.

The programme has six things to offer the third sector:

- links to policy-makers and investors
- links to public services
- coaching and facilitation
- networking events to develop and share your work
- promotion through Innovation Exchange
If you're a third sector project working to green public services then apply by Wednesday, 2nd June 2010 for the chance to participate. Any questions regarding the Green Next Practice Programme should be directed to Raj Cheema, 020 7259 1368. |

Charities wasting time and money with poorly targeted funding bids | |
Research by the Directory of Social Change (DSC) indicates that over one-third of applications to UK charitable grantmakers in the last year were ineligible. More than 361,000 out of a total pool of nearly one million applications were rejected because they didn't meet the funder's stated criteria.
