Esmée Fairbairn Foundation:
'Our new Application Guidelines:
We have published new Application Guidelines
<http://www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk/how_apply.html>, which are now effective.
A new programme, Social Change: Enterprise and Independence
<http://www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk/programmes/sd.html>, is launched,
replacing Social Development. 
Our Arts programme <http://www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk/programmes/ah.html>
will focus, for a three year period, on the contemporary visual arts,
including architecture, crafts, design, fine art, new media, photography,
public art and sculpture. The Heritage programme
<http://www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk/programmes/ah.html> retains its focus of
preserving and providing public access to our national heritage,
particularly outside Greater London.
The Education programme
<http://www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk/programmes/edu.html> will continue to
cover our two broad areas of interest: New Approaches to Education and
Hard-to-Reach Learners. 
The Environment programme
<http://www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk/programmes/env.html> guidelines develop
and further focus our previous areas of interest. The programme now supports
three interrelated themes: UK Biodiversity, A Low Carbon Economy and
Sustainable Food Systems.
The new Social Change: Enterprise and Independence
<http://www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk/programmes/sd.html> programme aims to
enable people and communities facing disadvantage to improve their lives. We
will prioritise those at greatest need through our two areas of specific
focus: Enterprising Communities and Financial Independence.
We expect our grantmaking in 2005 to total £28 million. The programme
budgets are: Arts & Heritage - £6.2 million, Education - £5.7 million,
Environment - £5.7 million, Social Change: Enterprise and Independence -
£9.4 million. We also look to support, in exceptional cases, proposals that
are in tune with our wider Foundation interests but fall outside our
specific programme funding priorities through our 'Fifth Fund'. 
If you are interested in applying to the Foundation, you should first read
our Application Guidelines in full. These are available on our website
<http://www.esmeefairbairn.org.uk/> or by telephone: 020 7297 4700.'

'Carnegie UK shifts funding focus: The Carnegie United Kingdom Trust, one of

programmes that will make a real and sustained difference in people's
lives.' (http://swmlac.org.uk/index.php?SID=2501&YEAR=2005&ID=28#SID@@@2501)
