Futurebuilders
£215m fund opens to all third sector organisations delivering public services
Extra £65m released for not-for-profit organisations in April 08
FuturebuildersEngland, the government-backed investment fund for the third sector, is gearing
up to open its doors in April to organisations working across all areas of public service delivery.
Offering loans-based investment packages, Futurebuilders provides flexible finance to organisations that
are delivering public services or want to start contracting with public bodies, such as local authorities,
primary care trusts or learning and skills councils.
Established in 2004, the Futurebuilders Fund was originally only open to groups working in crime, community
cohesion, children and young people, education and learning, and health and social care. From April 2008
it will extend its support to organisations working across all areas of public service delivery, including
sport, recreation and leisure, environmental projects, waste and recycling, legal aid, and the arts.
