Mossmorran Wind Farm Ltd Community Fund

Cowdenbeath Community Council's MICROGRANT SCHEME for the MOSSMORRAN WINDFARM COMMUNITY LTD FUND   closed on 30th March 2025.

 Mossmorran Wind Farm Ltd Community Fund has allocated funding to us to administer the  MicroGrant Scheme for 2025. This Scheme is to award grants to individuals or groups whose work benefit residents living in the Cowdenbeath Community Council boundary area.

The Community Council will be able to award small grants of up to £250 to individuals and groups (both constituted and unconstituted) who are involved in activities that can benefit Cowdenbeath residents by:

• Enhancing the quality of life for local residents;
• Contributing to deliver vibrant, healthy, successful and sustainable communities;
• Promoting community spirit and encouraging community activity.

Individuals and groups can apply for an award to assist with running costs (insurance or hiring facilities), equipment costs, maintenance or refurbishment of community facilities etc.

If you believe you would qualify for an award, then why not complete the application form below  and submit  it to us.

Alternatively if you require a hard copy of the form, please text 07514450070 and leave your name and address and we will organise to get a form to you.  

Applications should reach us by 30th March 2025

Awards will be made on merit and at the discretion of Cowdenbeath Community Council.

Groups that applied to the Main Fund in 2024 can apply but not for the same project. Nevertheless priority will be given to applicants who did not receive  funding from the Main Fund in 2024.
