UnLtd's Level 2 awards:

UnLtd, the national charity that supports social entrepreneurs, will
be launching the Spring 2009 application round for the Level 2 awards
on the 3rd February 2009.

UnLtd's Level 2 Awards provide practical and financial support to
innovative and enterprising social entrepreneurs to develop their
ideas and projects.

Level 2 Awards provide grants of up to £20,000 for up to one year to
support social entrepreneurs whose ideas are already developed but
require additional support to drive their project forward.

There are two Award competitions each year and UnLtd expect to make
approximately 16 Awards in England and Northern Ireland every 6
months. The Award can be used for a variety of activities, including
living expenses and project costs.

The deadline for submitting an initial Expression of Interest form is
midday on the 6th March 2009 (deadline for England and Northern
Ireland).

UnLtd's Level 1 awards:

In addition, UnLtd also makes Level 1 Awards which are aimed at
individuals or informal groups of people who have an idea which will
change society for the better, and want help getting it off the ground
- sometimes referred to as 'seed funding'. So the money is to help
with the running costs of the project in its very early stages of
development.

At Level 1 social entrepreneurs can apply for an award of between £500
and £5,000, (with an average award size of £2,000).

UnLtd gives out 1,000 Level 1 Awards each year across the UK.
See http://www.unltd.org.uk/ for more information.

Just to point out that this posting outlines UnLtd's Level 2 awards,
as opposed to the Level 1 awards which were outlined in the posting we
sent last week.
