KDP produce a fortnightly information bulletin that contains up to date funding information that we think may be useful to groups within K&M.  You can sign up to the Bulletin here.

Within Kincardine and Mearns we have several windfarm community benefit funds that you can apply to if your project is within the area of benefit and meets the fund’s criteria.

There are nationwide funders such as The National Lottery and also more local sources.   Local and national government can also have various funding opportunities available.
