Grant Directories

East Midlands Airport (EMA) awards funding for projects and events that benefit local communities affected by the airport’s operations. Through the EMA Low Carbon Energy Fund, charities, community groups, parish councils, schools and other statutory bodies can apply for grants of up to £10,000 to install energy-saving measures in community and public buildings, such as village halls, schools and sports facilities. The Fund will contribute towards solar panels, LED installations, electric charging points, air and ground source heating, and similar proven low carbon technologies. Projects must be completed within twelve months.

The Magna Park Community Fund provides grants of between £2,500 and £175,000 to support community and voluntary organisations and schools  to deliver local projects located in close proximity to Magna Park. The fund aims to support a wide range of projects and organisations. Including education, commercial, well-being and health, sport and recreation, environment, community connectedness and youth activity.

The Selective Schools Expansion Fund (SSEF) is available to selective schools that demonstrate how they’ll attract more disadvantaged pupils. The capital funding is available where there is a need for additional places, both in terms of a shortfall of secondary places in the local area and a demand from parents for more selective places; and they have ambitious but deliverable plans for increasing access for disadvantaged pupils and they have plans to work with other local schools to increase access for
disadvantaged pupils and to raise attainment.
