Climate Challenge Fund
3. Who can apply?
The basic premise of the Climate Challenge Fund is that applicants must be Scottish based and by the time a grant is approved they must also be legally constituted, not-for-profit community groups. This may also include communities of interest, with a defined geography and where they form a legally constituted group. The grant scheme specifically requires that the community be the lead player in any partnership with the community at the heart of all decision making relating the project.
Such organisations may include, but are not restricted to:
- Voluntary, not-for-profit and charitable organisations
- Schools
- Community groups working in partnership with Universities and Colleges
- Community groups working in partnership with national voluntary, not-for-profit and charitable organisations
- Community groups working in partnership with Local Authorities
- Community groups working in partnership with Housing Associations
- Community groups working in partnership with Community Planning Partnerships
