Grant News
Glasgow Airports Flight Path Fund provides grants to community groups and charities within close proximity to the airport for projects that improve opportunities, facilities and services available to local people. Grants are made for projects falling with three key areas:
- Employment – especially local projects that breakdown barriers to employment through skills development
- Environment – especially projects that protect and enhance the natural environment
- Education – especially projects designed to bring positive benefits to and change the lives of people in the local community
Awards can be made for all or part of project costs and are generally not made to cover core or running costs.
No minimum or maximum grant levels are published, however awards over £5,000 are subject to the approval of the Managing Director of Glasgow Airport.
