The fund provides support for strategic projects in Perthshire with the following outcomes:

• Creating opportunities: increase opportunities for education and employment
• Empowering communities: build resilience and protect vulnerable residents
• Building sustainable places: stimulate meaningful community regeneration

Priority for this round will be projects contributing to net zero. Applications that cannot demonstrate significant impact in this regard are unlikely to be funded.
