Details

Offering funding to families and individuals to support projects and initiatives that create positive change within their communities.

The Make it Happen Fund makes a difference by enabling families to set the fund’s priorities and design the funding proposal process. It empowers parents, carers, children and young people to decide how funds are spent, directing investment towards projects that otherwise may be overlooked by traditional funding schemes.

The fund itself will be available to applications that fit either of the following criteria:

• Grants for individuals to enable families to access the items, experiences or services that matter to them.
• Community grants for projects led by parents and/or young people working in collaboration with other organisations, including corporate partners, to create and deliver initiatives that positively impact their communities.

Lochee Ward: The fund is to support activities to benefit, children, young people, families or Adult Groups in the Lochee Ward. A project might be a one-off event, or a series of activity sessions. We are keen to encourage new ideas. Funding can be used for the following but not restricted to:

• Materials to deliver activities
• Catering or food costs associated with activities.
• Room-hire costs.
• Equipment
• Travel costs to support with delivery of activities.
• Utility costs (heating/lighting)
• Vouchers for supporting volunteers.
• Sessional delivery from organisations
