UnLtd Millennium Awards (Level 2) Now Open - 09/03/2010

The spring 2010 funding round of the UnLtd Millennium Awards (Level 2) has opened to Expressions of Interest.

Social entrepreneurs in the UK that have ambition, drive, determination and a vision to bring about social change are invited to apply for practical and financial support.

Awards are offered on two levels:

• Level 1 – awards of between £500 and £5,000 for individuals who need help getting their project off the ground.  Support is available for project running costs.
• Level 2 - awards of up to £15,000 are available for individuals whose project can be scaled-up to create a sustained impact within their community.  Funding is intended to take projects to the next level and may be used, for example, for living expenses of award winners so that their time may be devoted to the project.

Level 2 awards are distributed in spring and winter each year.

The spring 2010 deadline for receipt of Expression of Interest forms for the Level 2 awards is 12 noon on 22 March 2010.

Applications for Level 1 awards may be made at any time.
