Overview
The Scottish Land Fund helps communities across Scotland buy and manage land and buildings. This funding aims to make communities stronger and more sustainable through land ownership. The grant supports community groups who want to take control of local assets. You can use the money to purchase land or buildings for community benefit. The fund operates on a rolling basis with no set deadlines. Funding amounts are not specified and likely vary by project size. You need to be a community group or organisation in Scotland to apply.
