C0026 Research to Identify Long-Term Impacts of Grant-making

To commission a research agency to recruit organisations that have been the recipients of grants from The National Lottery Community Fund (or any of its predecessor bodies) from 1994 to 2018. The scope of the research is to capture high quality raw material, which speaks to the above aims, and to generate a resource bank to catalogue and store this information. This will enable the Fund to later generate a suite of products about the historic impact of the organisation. We are not commissioning an agency to produce the impact products themselves. Instead, we are interested in capturing raw information that will fulfil specific research aims.
