The Kinross-shire Fund supports community groups and organisations within the 73 square miles of Kinross-shire, and is dedicated to helping make Kinross-shire a better place to live. Funds are raised from individuals, companies and groups which are then used to make grants to local projects and voluntary organisations making a real difference to life in Kinross-shire.

The Kinross-shire Fund aims to support activities that will develop the vibrant life of the Kinross-shire community and ensure the area is an attractive place to live, work, and visit.

Applications must contribute to at least one of the following themes:

• Community events
• Community information
• Community transport
• Community welfare or healthcare support
• Physical amenities
• Recreational facilities
• Support for the care of older people
• Support for existing voluntary organisations.

Priority will be given to funding applications which:

• strengthen existing local organisations by helping them to purchase equipment and resources
• improve or develop local community facilities
• encourage community activity and promote community spirit
• support services for the elderly and persons with a disability
• improve information about local community issues

Higher priority will be given to capital projects which make a lasting difference. Grants must be spent within one year of the award.
