Funding source(s): Barrow Cadbury Trust, Paul S. Cadbury Trust, Community Organising Programme. Applicant overview: The IFCDA was established in 1991 and is based in South Africa. The IFCDA from its inception aims to promote and build genuine broad-based grassroots organisations within poor and decaying communities of society. The IFCDA is focused on identifying and nurturing change makers or community organisers. The IFCDA therefore serves as a catalyst for community organising, development programmes and community dispute resolution mechanisms. The IAF is a national community organizing network established in 1940 by Saul Alinsky in the United States. IAF provides training and consultation, furnishes organizers, and develops national strategy for its affiliated broad-based community organizations. Many affiliate branches of IAF were established internationally, including in South Africa. Nature of support: In 1993 the Paul S. Cadbury Trust allocated £10,000 originally allocated to the Sheffield Community Organising Project (SCOP) to the IFCDA. This grant was confirmed at this level for three years. In 1994 the Paul S. Cadbury Trust agreed to three annual grants of the IAF of £6,000 per annum. In 1995 the Community Organising Programme Relevant Trustees recommended three annual grants of £15,000 to the IFCDA. Outstanding payments to IFCDA were rescinded in 2000. Minutes: BCT 61, BCT 589, BCT 979, PSCT 1013, PSCT 1029, PSCT 1085, COP 2/95, COP 19/96, COP 8/97, COP 13/98, COP 2/00.
