Scotch Whisky Action Fund now open for 2015 applications
Created: 08/01/2015
News/Events Category: Funding and FinanceThe 2015 round of applications to the Scottish Whisky Action Fund is now open. The Fund is looking to support and develop a range of projects/initiatives which will deliver targeted interventions designed to tackle alcohol-related harms across three themes:
- Young people (aged under 18);
- Families;
- Communities.
Awards of up to £25,000 for a one year period can be made through this Fund. There are two categories of award as follows:
- Seedcorn funding - Awards made under this category could fund new initiatives and test out innovative approaches designed to reduce alcohol-related harm. Awards could also be used to fund existing smaller scale projects that are seeking to expand or develop their services. You must tell us how you plan to evaluate your project if seeking an award under this category. Please note that whilst you can apply for up to £25,000 under this strand, an award of this level would only be granted in exceptional circumstances. In practice, it is expected to make awards in the region of £10,000 for new or innovative projects;
- Growth and Development - Awards made under this category could fund projects that are seeking to consolidate and build on emerging, successful practice in relation to the reduction of alcohol-related harm. You must be able to provide evidence of any evaluation of your work to date.
The closing date for the receipt of applications will be Tuesday 30 June 2015 with applications being considered by the Awards Panel in September 2015.
All potential applicants to the Fund should ensure that they read the Fund profile prior to making an application to the Fund as this contains further details on the types of organisations, activities and costs that could be supported through the programme. Applicants should also ensure that they submit the appropriate supporting documentation with their application as not doing so could lead to delays in the processing of your application.
