Common Good Funds earn money each year from property rents and interest on investments and balances. These funds can be used for the benefit of the inhabitants of that town/area.

Projects must have a community-wide benefit. You must clearly show how your proposal will benefit the people living in the relevant former burgh.

Fife Council uses agreed criteria to assess applications:

  • the value of each Common Good Fund should be protected over time
  • grants will normally cover no more than 50% of a project’s total cost
