Community advice - grants

 We work closely with the voluntary sector who play a vital role in the area and in their communities. We offer grants or support in kind to a variety of voluntary organisations every year. These are intended to assist local initiatives, encourage environmental improvement and promote community activities.

Funding Unit


The Council's Funding Unit is committed to improving access to funding for smaller community and voluntary organisations. Our aims are to:

  • Provide direct funding development support to the Voluntary and Community Sector

  • Administer and manage specific council funds

  • Provide an information sharing service through ‘Stirling4Communities’ funding website

  • Provide funding advice and support to Stirling Council staff who work with community and voluntary groups

     

Who we support


We offer support in developing the skills, knowledge and capacity of local voluntary and community organisations, in relation to funding.

 

Services we provide


As well as providing free advice, information and training, about fundraising, staff can help community and voluntary organisations that most need support, in a variety of ways, including:

  • Providing advice and information on funding and funding sources
  • Outreach and one to one group support
  • Delivering training sessions and workshops on funding and related issues
  • Running locally based funding surgeries and organising funding seminars and events

We don’t do the fundraising for you, but can assist your organisation to develop your skills and confidence and provide information that will help you to do it.
