Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what her policy is on encouraging organisations offering grants, contracts or project funding to charities to include funding for capacity building.

A wide range of voluntary and community sector funders are already offering capacity building support in addition to frontline project funding. Government has no specific policy of encouraging this practice. However, officials regularly work with independent funders and share knowledge on capacity building offers.
