Development Grant Aid Scheme
This grant scheme can support community groups or voluntary organisations with small "one off" special projects or a series of projects.
Following our recent Grant Aid Review, we have made some changes to our Development grant aid scheme.
The main changes are as follows:
- Groups with bank balances in excess of £10,000 will be asked to confirm what the funds are for.
- Any incomplete applications must be completed within 2 months of the date we receive them, or they will be withdrawn.
- The maximum Development Grant available has decreased. See Guidelines for full details.
- Adult groups applying for grant assistance towards travel costs for off island events/competitions shall only be considered for financial support if they are representing Shetland, the region or a national body. The only exception is where the travel is for a course or an event that enables the participant(s) to make a further contribution to their group or the wider community.
