| The Third Sector Enterprise Fund was opened in January 2009. The 12 million
Third Sector Enterprise Fund will support organisations that want to build their
capacity to operate in an enterprising way. Applicants to this fund will be
supported at an earlier stage of enterprise development than applicants to the
Investment Fund. The Scottish Government will offer funding of between 25,000
to 100,000 to third sector organisations based on the assessment of a full
application explaining clearly the rationale for the proposal and the expected
outcomes. Applications for funding in excess of 70,000 will need to be
supported by a business plan. This fund will be managed and delivered by the
Scottish Government Third Sector Division, further details and guidance on how
to apply will be available shortly on the Scottish Government website. For more
information please view the Third Sector Enterprise Fund Investment Strategy
