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Any incomplete applications must be completed within 2 months of the date we receive them, or they will be withdrawn.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.

You'll need Adobe Reader version 9 or later to be able to save and edit the forms.
