Forward Scotland designs, develops and delivers a number of grant schemes offering funding to support practical, community-based projects promoting sustainable development. Some grant schemes are managed by Forward Scotland alone while we may be part of a wider management structure led by another organisation in others. Each scheme funds different types of project, with grants ranging from £500 to £300,000 depending on the scheme's criteria. This section contains more information about our current schemes as well as application forms and guidance notes for each. Forward Scotland welcomes approaches from grant distributors and can provide a transparent and accountable mechanism for distributing funds to community groups and other organisations across Scotland.

Forward Scotland's development programmes are designed to encourage a strategic and integrated approach to sustainable development and are delivered in partnership with key stakeholders. Partners may include public, private and third sector organisations with projects addressing issues at national, regional and/or local level. The focus of each development programme reflects the priority themes of sustainable development in Scotland: resource use, waste management, energy and travel. Other programmes focus on key economic sectors. Forward Scotland welcomes expressions of interest from potential partners. Our support can include both financial and in-kind contributions and span all stages of project development and delivery, from initial concept through implementation to completion and evaluation.
