Developers and Community Benefit

“We are committed to listening to the views of local people, and working with them to support the very best projects in their area. Working with the Scottish Community Foundation helps us do exactly that.â€

Ian Marchant, Chief Executive of Scottish and Southern Energy

Many companies, for example building developers and energy companies, often make charitable investments in the communities they are working in.

The Scottish Community Foundation can help companies establish funds in specific areas, all over the country. We will then handle the fund's administration using our expertise in grant-making. The Foundation offers a professional, hassle free service which relieves the need for a new charitable trust.

Community representatives may also approach us to handle a benefit fund that has been offered to them. Our support remains the same, and we will work with both parties to find the best outcome no matter where you are in Scotland.

For more information, please call our development director Daljit Singh on 0131 524 0300.
