Island Communities Fund
07 July 2021 at 15:34:21
The Island Communities Fund supports the grassroots delivery of the National Islands Plan. It builds on the success and learnings from the Islands Green Recovery Programme (2020/21) and represents a £2 million 'on-island' capital grant commitment.
Businesses and community groups located across Scotland's inhabited islands can apply for grants of up to £150,000 for projects focussed on supporting sustainable island economies and the journey towards net zero.
As a community-focussed fund, the Island Communities Fund seeks to maximise the impact of grant funding whilst delivering transformative outcomes. All successful projects will support employment and community resilience through activities that deliver green economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, linked to commitments within the National Islands Plan. Additionally, successful applicants will contribute to a broad range of Scottish Government policies, through inclusive growth and Community Wealth Building approaches.
The deadline to apply for funding is 12pm (noon) Friday 16 July 2021. Please make your application using our online form.
