The People’s Postcode Trust is again offering £300,000 for charities and community groups in Scotland which are planning to work together on a ‘dream’ project.
Last year’s Dream Fund supportive collaborative projects including the promotion and clean up of Edinburgh’s cycle paths, with a London Underground style cycle map for the city created and distributed to well over 30,000 locals.
There are three awards available, up to £100,000 each.
To be eligible to apply for the Dream Fund, two or more organisations must collaborate on a project, one of which must be a registered charity. Shortlisted proposals will be invited to pitch their ideas to the People’s Postcode Trust’s trustees.
The closing date for the first round of funding is 2 December 2011.
The People’s Postcode Trust is funded entirely by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery in which players play with their postcodes to win cash prizes. So far it has raised over £14.1 million for charities.
