The National Lottery Community Fund (Scotland) - Scottish Land Fund

Details

The fund will help communities take ownership of the land and buildings that matter to them, as well as practical support to develop their aspirations into viable projects. It supports communities to become more resilient and sustainable through the ownership and management of land and land assets.

The Scottish Land Fund is open to organisations in both urban and rural Scotland which are community-led, community-controlled, and defined by a geographic area.

Successful applicants will clearly demonstrate that their project will help their local community to:

achieve more sustainable economic, environmental and/or social development through ownership of land and buildings
have a stronger role in and control over their own development
own well managed, financially sustainable land and buildings.
