The Denny & District Community Fund supports community projects benefiting those living in the Denny & District Community Council area in Falkirk local authority, offering grants of between £500-10,000. Projects must be completed within 12 months of receipt.
The fund provides grants to support charitable activities that:
- Enhance quality of life for local residents.
- Contribute to vibrant, healthy, successful and sustainable communities.
- 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, and so on. This fund is available to support a range of groups and organisations and can help local facilities, services, and activities to thrive, providing opportunities for local people after what has been a very difficult two years.
Applicants are also encouraged to reflect one or more of the following cross-cutting issues appropriately and proportionately relative to their project. They may not all be relevant, but where they can be integrated into project planning/activity the application will likely be considered more favourably because the impact of the award will be enhanced.
- Green Alternatives
- Partnership Working
- Building Capacity Locally
- Local Procurement
- Reducing Carbon Footprint
The decisions are made by Denny Community Fund panel members. The panel is made up of local individuals from the Fund area, and welcomes interest from local people in becoming a panel member, so feel free to reach out to them directly if you would like to discuss.
