The Innovation Exchange is working to grow innovation from the third sector. They are focused on next practice – on solutions to problems yet to be solved.
The next key milestone in the Innovation Exchange process is 31st July, which is the last day on which people can submit expressions for interest in their Next Practice programme, which includes access to the NESTA Innovation Exchange Fund.
What for?
The Next Practice programme looks to work with the very best of third sector innovation in relation to independent living and excluded young people.
They aim to help third sector innovators to develop, evaluate and grow their work through both generic in-kind support – coaching support and a small number of events – and bespoke support, designed around projects’ particular characteristics.
Applicants for the Next Practice programme will also be able to apply to receive a share of the NESTA Innovation Exchange Fund. This Fund is designed to provide additional support to the most significant projects with the greatest potential to grow to scale. Funding will support further work to develop and demonstrate an innovation and/or to rigorously evaluate it.
How Much?
Funding awards will be of up to £50k.
Deadline
to be submitted by email by 5pm on 31st July.
