Thorne Farm Wind Turbine Community Benefit Fund
Devon Community Foundation
Devon Community Foundation manages the Thorne Farm Wind Turbine Community Benefit Fund, which gives small grants of up to £5,000 to community groups, individuals and organisations serving the parishes of Holsworthy Hamlets, Pancrasweek and Pyworthy in North Devon. Larger amounts are possible by exception. Applications are open all year, so there is no deadline. Money for the fund came from wind turbines erected on farmland in Holsworthy in 2015. Projects must fit at least one theme, such as bringing people together, developing life skills or enabling disabled people. The funder lists community transport schemes, Post Offices and community shops, memory cafes, lunch clubs and befriending schemes as examples. Organisations based outside the three parishes can apply if most beneficiaries live in them. Each organisation can apply once a year. A volunteer panel drawn from the local community considers eligible applications and decides which to fund. It checks fit with the fund, understanding of local needs and capacity to deliver.
Babeleigh Barton Community Benefit Fund
Devon Community Foundation
Devon Community Foundation runs the Babeleigh Barton Community Benefit Fund, which gives grants to community groups and organisations in the parish ward of Parkham in North Devon. Award sizes are not stated on the funder's website, and no deadline is shown. A husband and wife set the fund up in 2016. It redistributes income from wind turbines on their farm in North Devon to their local parish. Projects must make a positive difference to the lives of local people and fit at least one of nine themes. These include assisting families in need, developing life skills, enabling disabled people, helping people find and keep a home, offering training and work opportunities, and promoting access to arts, culture and nature. The funder's website gives no example projects or costs. Read the Guidance Notes and the foundation's Terms & Conditions before you apply. The Guidance Notes hold the full application details.
