Details

The Fund supports charitable activity that will sustain and develop the life of the community and ensure that the area is an attractive and vibrant place to live, work and visit.

Applications should demonstrate how they fit with the objectives of Auchterless, Inverkeithny & Fisherford Community Action Plan 2015. While the Panel has the discretion to fund other activity, the funding priorities of the local community are as set out in this Community Action Plan.

The Panel would prefer to see awards made for the purchase of capital items or towards the costs of capital projects, rather than for revenue items such as travel costs or the subsidising of activities.

The Panel are keen to support applications that demonstrate how they meet the following additional criteria:

• Additional funding
• Local procurement
• Sustainable development
• Local consultation
• Partnership working

Who can apply

Groups, businesses and organisations working to benefit people living in any of the three communities of Auchterless, Inverkeithney & Fisherford can apply for a grant. Private businesses can also apply where the proposed project fits with the charitable aims of the fund, provides significant public benefit, cannot be funded from the business’ own funds, and where any private benefit arising from the grant would be incidental.

Your community group must have a constitution (governing document or set of rules) and be set up on a not-for-profit basis. You do not need to be a registered charity to apply.

When to apply

There are no set application deadlines, eligible groups can apply at any time.
