Story
The Kinross-shire Fund is a local charity launched in 2006 dedicated to helping make Kinross-shire a better place to live. We aim to raise funds from individuals, companies and groups which are then used to make grants to local projects and voluntary organisations making a real difference to life in Kinross-shire, In the first 8 years since its inception, we have made 68 grants totaling about £165,000 to local groups, organisations and projects.
‘We are indebted and grateful to the Kinross-shire Fund. The support has enabled many volunteers to work together enhancing their environment and bringing about positive change. The Fund is always very helpful and approachable, with a clear understanding of the issues facing local community groups. Thank you Kinross-shire Fund – you have made a positive difference to Kinross-shire and to many peoples’ lives’. Zoe Clark, Take a Pride in Perthshire Association 2014.
Why do we need a Kinross-shire Fund?
Although those of us who live in the County would agree that Kinross-shire is a wonderful place to live in, there will always be scope to improve our community services and facilities. The Kinross-shire Fund aims to provide a focal point that our community can rally round and support, enabling us to address local issues such as supporting the elderly and young people, community infrastructure and regeneration.
Why should I support the Fund?
Have you thought about giving something back to our community but been unable or unsure how to? Often it is hard to decide whose need is the greatest, and where your gift can really make a difference. Understandably, you will want to be confident that your money is being used wisely. We benefit from expert guidance from our advisers, Foundation Scotland, who help us to investigate areas of need and ensure grant applications are genuine but they will also monitor the projects as they take effect to make sure the money is well spent and that the community is benefiting as planned.
