Clyde Mission Fund: how to apply

How to apply

The Clyde Mission Fund has a two-stage application process:

Stage 1

Applicants should complete the attached outline application form,  providing an overview of the project, costings, confirmation of deliverability, and key outputs such as job creation. 

The deadline for Stage 1 applications was 9 October 2020.

Following this stage, successful projects are invited to complete the stage 2 application process.

Stage 2

Applicants successful at Stage 1 are required to provide more detailed information on: costings; deliverability; partnership working and community engagement; public and private leverage; monitoring; legal and accountability issues; and outcome metrics and data.

At both stages, a panel of officials from the Scottish Government, Scottish Futures Trust and Scottish Enterprise will consider and score the bids. Scoring will be based on the following weighted criteria:

• how does the project contribute to inclusive economic growth?  (40%)
• how does the project contribute to reducing carbon emissions, improving the environment or adapting to climate change? (30%) 
• how have and will partners and communities be involved in the development and delivery of the project? (15%)
• how will the project benefit communities? (15%)
