Falkirk Council's Community Grant Scheme aims to support community groups and voluntary organisations to deliver projects that make a positive difference to communities across the Falkirk Council area.
We would like to support projects that can contribute to one or more of the goals of Falkirk Council as set out within our Corporate Plan 2008-11 (PDF, 846KB)|.
These are:
-
to further developing a thriving, sustainable and vibrant economy
-
continuing to improve health, safety and well being of our citizens and communities
-
increasing our efforts to tackle disadvantage and discrimination
-
enhancing and sustaining an environment in which people want to live, work and visit
The Community Grant Scheme can offer support up to a maximum of £5,000 towards community-based projects that can usually be completed within a 12 month period.
