There are several sources of funding available to residents of the Marybank, Scatwell & Strathconon Community Council area.

·         The SSE Hydro Fund caters for large projects in areas in the whole of Scotland that host hydro power stations. MSS is one of those areas and is therefore eligible for this fund. It is open to constituted groups and clubs that have a bank account for applications between £10.000 and £100.000. Decisions are taken by an independent panel.

·         The SSE/Fairburn Community Fund is open to residents of Contin, Muir of Ord and Marybank, Scatwell & Strathconon. It offers funding upwards of £500 to constituted groups and clubs that have a bank account. Decisions are taken by an independent panel.

·         The EdF/Corriemoillie Community Fund (administrated by Foundation Scotland) is open to residents of Marybank, Scatwell & Strathconon. It offers funding upwards of £500 and up to £5,000 to constituted groups and clubs that have a bank account. Decisions are taken by an independent panel.

·         The EdF/Corriemoillie Education and Training Fund (administrated by Foundation Scotland) offers financial support to residents of the Community Councils of Lochbroom, Garve & District, Contin, Strathpeffer and Marybank, Scatwell & Strathconon. It offers help up to £1,575 for such purposes as for example studying fees and materials, accommodation, travel expenses and cost of getting a driving licence. Decisions are taken by an independent panel.

More detailed information about these sources of funding, how to apply to them and what the deadlines for applications are can be found on their respective websites.

·         Both the SSE/Fairburn Community Fund and the EdF/Corriemoillie Community Fund also provide an annual sum to the Community Council for smaller grants up to £500 to residents and groups that don’t need to have a constitution and a bank account. Both windfarms have provided a set of criteria for the allocation of these microgrants. Applications are made to and decided within these criteria by the Community Council. Application forms for each financial year (01 April to 31 March) are available via msscc-iv67@hotmail.com.
