Bridging Cultures - Awards from the Baring Foundation
Awards for Bridging Cultures – notice of forthcoming deadline (13 September)
Funded by the Baring Foundation, the Awards for Bridging Cultures (ABCs) give cash prizes for projects that successfully builds trust and respect between people from different cultures.
The deadline for applications is Monday 13 September 2010
There are three groups who can apply:
- • Voluntary or community groups or organisations running projects to promote intercultural dialogue with gross annual financial income of over £100,000.
- • Voluntary or community groups or organisations running projects to promote intercultural dialogue with gross annual financial income of £100,000 or under.
- • Local authorities, public sector organisations and private companies who can demonstrate their support for voluntary sector projects which promote intercultural dialogue by financing, initiating or supporting grassroots projects.
The 2009 winners included theatre projects and work to address community tensions on a residential estate.
Please note that the ABCs is an awards scheme, not a grants scheme - it celebrates the success of projects and schemes that are already up and running or have run in the last two years and does not provide grants to set up new initiatives.
As well as a range of other benefits, the winners of each of the categories for voluntary organisations receive £10,000 and commended organisations in these categories receive up to £5,000 each.
