Scottish Government: Investing in Communities Round 2
Posted on 26 May 2022 by Christie McAlpine in Funding Grants
Round 2 of the Scottish Government's Investing in Communities Fund will open for applications at 2pm on Tuesday 31 May 2022.
The Investing in Communities Fund is a community focussed fund supporting organisations based in the places they serve delivering activity across four key areas for action:
- tackling poverty and inequality, including child poverty
- developing and sustaining place based approaches
- community-led regeneration
- ensuring a just transition to net zero
The Fund can support the revenue costs associated with community consultations, feasibility work, and the design and/or delivery of local community-identified and community-led projects and services that will address local challenges, priorities and needs. Funding prioritises those places where support is needed most, for our disadvantaged, rural and fragile communities across Scotland.
Eligible Organisations include:
- registered charities
- community/voluntary organisations
- housing associations/housing co-operatives/registered social landlords (RSL)
- Community Councils
- social enterprises/community benefit societies/Community Interest Companies (CIC)
Grants of up to £350,000 are available over the three-year funding period from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2026, including small-scale capital costs of up to £20,000 per application.
Applications are made using the online portal and the deadline is 2pm on Tuesday 28 June 2022.
