Impact Readiness Fund
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-15-million-grant-fund-to-help-social-ventures
Grants will be available to help ambitious social ventures manage their performance and increase their social impact to attract social investment and win contracts.
Social investors and commissioners are interested in the social impact ventures achieve, but demonstrating this impact can be difficult. Many worthy social ventures struggle to quantify their achievements without the right systems and expertise.
The new £1.5 million pilot fund managed by the Social Investment Business for the Cabinet Office will offer grants and support to social ventures to understand and improve their social impact and demonstrate improvements to investors and commissioners.
Grants between £15,000 and £150,000 will be available until late January 2015 to help ventures build infrastructure and skills required to manage their performance, increase their social impact, and attract social investment / win contracts.
