About Nesta

Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.

The Connected Communities Innovation Fund was set up to support the best innovations that mobilise many more people throughout the life course, to support people and places to thrive, alongside public services

The fund was a partnership between Nesta and the Office for Civil Society at DCMS, and was run alongside other grant programmes in our Government Innovation - People Power portfolio.
