About This Opportunity

The Denny & District Community Fund supports community projects benefiting those living in the Denny & District Community Council area in Falkirk local authority. The Fund is provided by Nadara, which owns Earlsburn Wind Energy Limited and Kingsburn Wind Energy Limited, and Netro Energy, which owns Falkirk Todhill Wind Ltd. An annual amount of £66,000, inflation-adjusted, will be paid into the fund each year for the wind farms' operating life. The fund provides grants to support charitable activities that enhance quality of life for local residents, contribute to vibrant, healthy, successful and sustainable communities, and promote community spirit and encourage community activity. Grants may support a wide range of costs, for example the costs of equipment, staff or sessional workers, consultations, running costs for local groups, maintenance or refurbishment of community facilities. Applications are particularly welcome from established groups looking to develop or enhance their services, or new groups providing new opportunities that address the fund's priorities.
