Positive Destinations

From Third Sector Online

Children's charities are being invited to bid for three grants of £500,000 by BBC Children in Need and venture philanthropy organisation the Hunter Foundation.

The three-year grants programme, called Positive Destinations, aims to fund innovative and effective projects to boost the future chances of vulnerable young people. Projects can either offer a holistic response or target key life stages such as pre-school, the transition from primary to secondary school, or the 14-16 age range.

The charities are also offering three smaller grants adding up to £500,000 in total. Each winning project will be independently evaluated.

The deadline for applications is 30 March.
