Are you a third sector organisation operating in Wales and committed to working towards financial sustainability?

If so, you could receive funding to visit other organisations with first hand experience of developing a sustainable funding approach.

What is Be informed?
Be informed! is a visit scheme to help organisations learn about sustainable funding. It enables you to visit other third sector organisations with first hand experience of working towards achieving financial sustainability. Up to 30 visits will be funded during 2008.

The scheme will pay up to £200 for your time and travel to visit another third sector organisation to learn about their experiences and the key issues to consider when developing a sustainable funding approach. The scheme will also pay the host organisation up to £200 as a consultation fee for their time spent with you.
