Corporate Match Funding Programme 2009/10

The council is committed to creating the environment for a thriving third sector. One of the many ways we do this is by supporting local third sector organisations to attract the inward investment that enables them to deliver key services to the local community. This commitment is supported through the allocation of Corporate Match Funding to local projects and initiatives.

Over recent years the Corporate Match Funding (CMF) budget has supported local third sector organisations in accessing external sources of funding through co-financing. This funding has been used to deliver projects, whose outputs and outcomes, support the aims and objectives of the council's employment and business development programmes. The budget has traditionally been utilised to co-finance the European Structural Fund Programme and other external regeneration funding streams.

Details and arrangements for the 2009-10 Corporate Match Funding programme will be available here from mid-December 2008.
