Welcome to the latest Edition of Funding at Falkirk, a regular bulletin that aims to provide up to date information on key funding opportunities for every size of project.
This edition has information on lottery funding including a reminder to take advantage of the Council area’s Heritage Lottery Fund Priority status that ends in 2013.
It’s also worth remembering that the Investing in Communities programme is live and running till 30 June 2015.
An outline of the opportunities it offers is also included. There’s also information for social entrepreneurs – the Just Enterprise programme supported by the Scotitsh Government assists social enterprises that show potential to grow and develop sustainably.
A variety of sources of funding for arts projects, including LankellyChase, the Esmee Fairbairn Collections Fund and the Young Film Fund, provides opportunities to find support for a range of activities.
Funding to promote financial inclusion, including the Nationwide and Friends Provident Foundations and the MSE Charity offer grants from £500 to £200,000 to support activities including consumer debt advice, financial literacy and strategic issues related to financial inclusion.
There are also details of a FREE workshop on writing funding applications and notification of an extended deadline for applications to the “see me” fund.
