Do you have a community project that needs funding? If so, MAP would love to hear from you.

The Marr Area Committee of Aberdeenshire Council set up the Initiative Grant Scheme to support community development. MAP administrates the scheme and offers support to community groups to achieve the maximum benefit from the awards, which can be up to a maximum value of £1,000.

The awards need to be match funded (by your community group or through other funding) by at least the same amount as the grant.  The application form can be accessed by clicking here.

Please contact Lindsay on 07585 621549 or at lindsay@marrareapartnership.org.uk for a friendly chat and guide to the application process.
