enterprises, community interest companies (CIC), not-for-profit
organisations and sports clubs are eligible to
apply.
Grants range from £500 to £20,000 for organisations in Scotland

Funding
is available for projects that advance citizenship or community
development.
Advancing community development involves creating
opportunities for the community to learn new skills and,
by enabling people to act together, helps further social inclusion and
equality.
The
Trust is looking for projects that engage local communities and leaves a
positive long term impact beyond the duration of funding.
Priority will
be given to projects that are focused on improving life for
disadvantaged
groups and encouraging their inclusion within society.
Projects
that have a focus on sport, health, reducing poverty, environmental
improvement or the advancement of human rights are still eligible for
funding as long as they are strong in meeting the above community
development criterion.
The deadline for applications is 30 April 2015.
