£10,000 Community Volunteer Fund
17 November 2008
The deadline for returning completed applications has now passed. Details of successful applicants will be published in due course. Thanks to all those who applied!
CSFT has launched a new £10,000 community fund which will award grants to support eligible volunteering projects within the Central Scotland Forest area.
The Community Volunteer Fund is open to registered charities and not-for-profit organisations with experience of delivering volunteering projects. The fund is directed to new or increased volunteering activity in the Forest area and applicants need to show real willingness to get local communities involved in projects within the Central Scotland Forest boundary. As this is the only definite requirement and, unusually, the grant can cover up to the entire cost of a project, interest in the fund is expected to be high.
The Fund particularly welcomes applications from volunteering projects which offer potential for creating a better environment, enhancing quality of life, conserving and contributing to cultural heritage and contemporary culture and tackling disadvantage and exclusion in the Forest. All volunteering activities must take place within the Central Scotland Forest area.
If your organisation meets the above criteria and you would like an application pack, please e-mail volunteer@csft.org.uk
All application forms must be completed and returned by 5pm on Friday 14th November 2008.
