The Government made an explicit commitment to three year funding in the Third Sector Review, aimed at improving sustainability in funding to the sector. The commitment is for all departments, agencies and non departmental public bodies. A commitment has already been made on three year grant funding within local authorities.
The first report by Government departments on the three year funding indicated that the average proportion of grant funding that was for three years or more across government departments was 65.7%. The weighted average, taking the size of total third sector spend per department into account, was 85.4%.
For 2009/10, government departments and their non-departmental public bodies will be reporting on contracts as well as grants. This report will continue to form part of the annual review of the Compact.
Together with the National Council of Voluntary Organisations, we have launched Funding Central, a new free website that provides comprehensive information about national, local and regional government funding, national, local or regional charitable funding, and European Union funding.
