Details

The Gordon & Ena Baxter Foundation supports a wide variety of capital projects in Scotland’s North-east and Highlands, from shinty sticks and audio visual kits to cutting edge cancer research equipment. Applicants should demonstrate a sound management plan, evidence local support and fundraising and show a clear benefit to their community.

Projects should show innovation and fit within five themes:

• Health and Wellbeing - to support healthy living as well as good nutrition, including Scots culinary traditions;
• Arts and Heritage - to promote and support arts and heritage to widen opportunity, access and participation for all;
• Conservation and the Environment - promoting the conservation and preservation of our natural environment;
• Education - supporting initiatives which broaden horizons, promote responsibility and increase access or opportunity for young people; and
• Sport - to support amateur sporting activity, in particular those which encourage youth development.
