Project funding may include quality assurance (QA) accreditation costs that can be used for a project. However, we would not expect to be providing stand-alone funding for VCS organisations to secure QA accreditation. Smal VCS organisations can apply for the Capacity Building theme of the Mayor’s Small Grants Programme to support them to work towards QA accreditation.
