Funding Information Sources
New, free, funding database from Charities Information Bureau
The South West funding information database has been developed by the Charities Information Bureau South & West (CIB) with financial support from Sport England.
It offers a free searchable facility for individual project searches as well as 'ready to go' packs for particular themes, such as Sport or Health & Social Welfare. To access the database you need to register by filling in a form online; this is sent to CIB to verify that you are a South West organisation/resident. Once approved, a username and password will be issued to you via email.
Register and access the database at www.cibsouthandwest.org.uk.
The database is linked with the South West Region Funding and News bulletin, which is an initiative of George, the South West Funding Advisers Forum, also supported by Sport England. To find out more, download a recent edition of the bulletin here.
