New Scottish Community Foundation Environmental Grants

Howard Lake | 20 October 2005 | News

Funding information service SMALLfri is once again sharing some funding news with UK Fundraising. The Scottish Community Foundation (SCF) has launched a new Your Community, Your Environment Fund to help local community groups across Scotland deliver sustainable environmental projects in their area.

The programme is a one-year pilot scheme at this stage, supported by The Tubney Trust.

The emphasis is on supporting projects that are at their early stage of development and where capacity needs to be built to move to the next phase. Communities and groups can apply to develop an idea, or take their idea from its formative stages to a practical project. Projects must focus on your local environment, but must also offer economic and social benefits to the community.

Grants will range from £1,000 to £5,000.

Projects must be completed within six months of the grant being made available.

For more information call the SCF on 0141 225 6670 or email gr****@********cf.org

The Foundation has a Web site (http://www.scottishcf.org) but as of 8th October the details of this new scheme had not been added.

Closing date: There are three closing dates, 21 October 2005, 9 December
2005 and 24 February 2006.
SMALLfri is the subscription funding information service for new and small organisations.
