Following the success of the Funder Fair in Kirkintilloch last November, East Dunbartonshire Community Planning Partnership has
organised another event for the 28th of May this year.
This Funder Fair will provide another opportunity for community groups, charities or social enterprises to find out how to tap into precious funding pots. There's never been a greater need for community and third sector organisations to find out about the funding that is available to them and this FREE event brings groups and funders together under one roof.
Ten funders will have stalls and there will be three free training workshops at the event on Tuesday 28 May 2024 from 5pm-8.30pm in the Kirkintilloch Campus, New College Lanarkshire. 50 Southbank Road Kirkintilloch G66 1NH.

- National Lottery
- Sports Scotland
- EDLC
- Paths for All
- Creative Scotand
- Business Gateway
- East Dunbartonshire Arts Council
- East Dunbartonshire Community Grants Scheme
The three FREE training workshops which will cover the following topics:
- All things financial
- East Dunbartonshire Council Community Grants
- Social Impact Assessment
Councillor Pamela Marshall, Vice Convener of the Council's Place, Neighbourhood & Corporate Assets Committee said, "Last year’s Funder Fair was a resounding success and community groups and third sector organisations who attended benefited from the support which enabled them to successfully apply for funding.
"The Funder Fair brings a range of key funders together and provides the opportunity for people to speak directly to funders, ask questions specific to their project and attend a range of workshops offering invaluable tips and advice on funding.
“This year we have some new funders coming along, so I’d encourage those who attended in November to come back on 28th of May and speak with these different organisations to see if there are any additional funding opportunities they can apply for.”

Refreshments will be provided so when booking please give details of any dietary requirements.
