New Glenkens & District Community Fund Launching

2 Feb 2024

The Community Fund name is changing!

Now that more money is becoming available to our communities through agreements made with the Greencoat Windy Rig windfarm, the Carsphairn Renewable Energy Fund and others to come, it’s time to give the community fund arrangements a new identity – the Glenkens & District Community Fund.This newly branded fund will provide a single, consistent application process and set of priorities which keeps it simple for applicants and easily identifiable for the Glenkens and District community, regardless of the source of money. Fiona Smith, Chair of the Fund said:

“We are delighted to be able to announce the launch of the Glenkens & District Community Fund. We thank all of the fund donors who are contributing to this new arrangement, both the windfarm owners and community partners at the Carsphairn Renewable Energy Fund. As the number of donors to our communities increases our aim is to continue steward funds to a high standard, while keeping it simple for applicants.”

 

For applicants, all the application forms and the fund priorities will remain the same as they were with the Blackcraig fund, and GDT continues to work in partnership with Foundation Scotland. The next application deadline to the Glenkens & District Community Fund will be the 18th March 2024.
