Overview
Foundation Scotland lists the NnG (Elie and Earlsferry) Community Fund, which pays for charitable activities that benefit the Elie and Earlsferry communities in Fife. NnG, a joint venture between EDF power solutions UK and ESB, donates £10,800 a year for the area for the first three years (2025-2028), rising in line with inflation. There is no fixed grant size. The Elie and Royal Burgh of Earlsferry Community Council runs the fund and makes the award decisions. It advertises locally who can apply, the exact priorities and criteria, what cannot be funded, and how and when to apply. Key dates are on the community council's website. The funder's website lists no example projects or costs. The fund is expected to last 25 years, the anticipated initial lifetime of the Neart na Gaoithe offshore wind farm. Amounts will be reviewed in 2028. It forms part of the wider NnG Community Benefit Fund, which began in late 2025.
