Fairburn

Through our Fairburn wind farm we make around £110,000 per year available for community and charitable projects. Between 2010 and 2035 we expect to invest £2.7 million in local projects.

PROJECT ELIGIBILITY

The community fund can support projects which:

• encourage community activity and promoting community spirit
• provide adequate access to services for all community members
• improve the local transport infrastructure
• optimise opportunities to grow the local economy
• build community capacity and cohesion between established community groups
• develop or maintaining community assets

Applications are welcomed for projects that provide benefit in the following community council areas:

• Marybank, Scatwell and Strathconon: grants from £250 - £25,000. Applications for over £25,000 will be considered for strategic projects – please contact the Community investment Manager (details below) if you are considering such an application.
• Contin: grants from £250 - £10,000
• Muir of Ord: grants from £1,000 - £5,000

You don’t need to be a registered charity to apply, but your organisation must have a constitution (governing document or set of rules) and not be set up for individual profit. If you are unsure if your group is eligible, please contact us for advice.
