Carnegie Dunfermline Trust Grant

What we give grants for?

• The Trust funds projects, activities and schemes with social, community, educational, cultural, sport and recreational purposes for the benefit of those within the defined geographic area of the operation of the Trust. We look for proposals that are innovative and far reaching together with those that particularly impact on young people. We are also interested in active partnerships where organisations decide to work together and adopt a joint approach. Start-up funding is offered on a one-off basis.

• A typical grant lies between £300 and £10,000.The Trust does not usually provide annual recurrent funding for events, schools, clubs and societies but welcomes applications which will open up opportunities and add value as widely as possible.

Who can apply?

Applicants must be based in or intending to use the funds for the benefit of this area.This can include sports clubs and schools, voluntary sector organisations, clubs and societies and environmental and community development.

What is not likely to be funded?

• Individuals; closed groups (with the exception of those catering for specialist needs); political, military or sectarian bodies; activities outwith the geographic scope of the Trust; medical organisations; routine running or salary costs; costs which are the responsibility of a government body.
