CalMac Community Fund: upcoming deadline

Posted on 8 September 2021 by Christie McAlpine in Funding Community Grants

The CalMac Community Fund, managed by Foundation Scotland, was created to make a difference to the communities in which CalMac operates, by supporting local groups to tackle local needs. The fund operates across the following six areas:

• Lewis, Harris and Ullapool
• Uist and Barra
• Skye, Raasay, the Small Isles and Mallaig
• Oban and the Inner Hebrides
• Firth of Clyde
• Southern Hebrides

Organisations can apply for between £500 and £2,000 for:

• Services and activities addressing or reducing social isolation, including encouraging re-engagement with community activity following the pandemic.
• Services and activities supporting better mental health and improved well-being.

Priority will be given to applicant groups who are smaller in size, for example, with an annual income under £250,000, and those who are volunteer-led.

Applications close on 30 September 2021. For more information and to apply, visit the Foundation Scotland website.
