The question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a breakdown of how the (a) 2010-11, (b) 2011-12 and (c) 2012-13 Third Sector budget was spent, including amounts received by each organisation funded.

The answer

Answered by John Swinney on 21 May 2013 · 54 days after it was lodged, 25 days after it was due

The following table breaks down funding for third sector intermediaries (largely grant funding), third sector funds (spend), business support contracts and support for third sector events and initiatives, which represents the major part of the third sector budget. Individual recipient awards for a number of third sector funds have already been published. Some funds were specific one-off commitments such as the Scottish Investment Fund.
The table captures the major part of the third sector budget, but does not comprise a comprehensive list of every direct payment.
The table does include funding which has been transferred to other Scottish Government Directorates under the Autumn and Spring Budget Review process to support third sector purposes.
