Series consists of records related to the administration of trust funds supporting various social inclusion programs and initiatives maintained by the social development sector units. Types of records included in the series are internal memoranda, correspondence with donors and grant recipients, grant proposals and applications, initiating briefs, grant agreements, progress reports, briefing books, meeting summaries, lists of meeting and workshop participants, annual reports, contribution and disbursement statements, financial reports, budget documents, and brochures.
Most of the records in this series are related to the Grants Facility for Indigenous Peoples (GFIP), Small Grants Program and Small Grants Committee, the Trust Fund for Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development (TFESSD) supported by the governments of Norway and Finland, the German Poverty and Social Impact Analysis Fund (PSIA), and the Norwegian Trust Fund (NTF). Other trust fund programs are also represented. The records also document NGO-Bank Committee small grant annual meetings (1992 - 1997), GFIP meetings (2005 - 2006), and NTF social development brainstorming roundtables (2002 - 2003).
Trust funds were provided for various initiatives related to youth engagement, community development, environment, and civic engagement. Several files indicate in the title whether the proposed initiative was cancelled or not funded.
