Many thanks for your interest in the Tayside Contracts Community Fund (TCCF).
If you have an inspiring idea for how we can support a local project, please read this document and the associated process map carefully before applying to the fund.
Who can apply?
Tayside Contracts is proud to support its local communities to shape their future by providing goods and services to transform and improve lives for people.
Applications can be submitted to the Tayside Contracts Community Fund by constituted groups across Tayside such as registered charities and community groups.
The fund will also support financially independent and locally managed branches of national charities as well as small, grassroots charities and community organisations.
We give preference to new applications over applicants that make repeated submissions.
It is essential that activities supported by the Tayside Contracts Community Fund are aligned to the Community Plan priorities of the Council area they are based in. The applicant must therefore demonstrate they are meeting the criteria for that Council.
