Local Funding Sources

EDF Corriemoillie Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund - Strathpeffer

Grants up to £3,000 for local groups

The Strathpeffer fund provides grants of up to £3,000 for projects that benefit people living in the community council area. You don’t have to be a registered charity to apply, but your group should have a constitution and a bank account and be set up on a not-for-profit basis. The fund can support a wide range of items such as equipment, events, repairs or running costs, providing the project can show how it will benefit people in the community.

There are two rounds per year in spring and autumn, and all applications are made online.

You can contact Fund Adviser Marion McDonald at any stage of the process and get advice and help with your application. Please also note that Foundation Scotland will generally arrange a phone call with each applicant to get information about the project so you can always provide more details at that point.

The fund is administered by Foundation Scotland with decisions made by the community council.
