Description

Fair4All Finance is inviting proposals to scope and deliver an independent impact evaluation of its Community Finance Resilience Fund. Please see the attached RfP for full details.

The submission deadline is 9;00a.m. Monday 2d December 2024.

Fair4All Finance is seeking a provider to:
1. Scope an independent impact evaluation of the Community Finance Resilience Fund (the 'Fund'), including refining the existing monitoring framework
2. Deliver an independent impact evaluation of the Fund
3. Review how the Fund has been delivered, if it was delivered as intended and to capture any lessons learned around the efficiency and effectiveness of its delivery.

The Fund, offering over £5 million in grant and investment funding, supports community finance organisations (such as credit unions, community development finance institutions (CDFIs), and related entities) with the goals to:
• Strengthen the resilience of the community finance sector during the cost of living crisis.
• Preserve and expand access to affordable credit for individuals in financially vulnerable circumstances.

Due to funding restrictions, the Fund's remit is limited to supporting borrowers in England only.
