Funding
BIG does not operate projects but allocates funds to organisations which operate projects. As part of the application process for funding, BIG requires funded organisations to outline the difference that should come about as a result of its funding.
BIG uses a variety of methods to distribute funding. Most of its grants go to voluntary and community organisations which apply within a range of funding programmes. However, in certain cases to meet a specific need, BIG will also seek applications from organisations with recognised expertise or make a substantial grant to a partner to award funds on its behalf.
