About this opportunity

The EDF Power Solutions Burnfoot Hill Wind Farm Community Fund (Clackmannanshire) provides grants to community organisations in the Clackmannanshire area, specifically benefiting the Community Council areas of Alva, Dollar, Menstrie, Muckhart and Tillicoultry, Coalsnaughton and Devonside. The fund opened in 2011 and receives funding from the EDF Power Solutions Burnfoot Wind Farm cluster. The fund provides grants for 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. In 2026, the fund is trialling support for organisations' core costs such as venue hire, utility costs, staff salaries and other administrative costs in addition to project-specific costs. Projects are expected to demonstrate how they contribute to relevant Community Action Plans for the villages and show evidence of match funding, local procurement, capacity building, and partnership working where appropriate.
