Money for Moray has secured funding from the Scottish Government's Investing in Communities Fund to be awarded in Moray to support projects which will make Moray “A Fairer Moray for All”.
The funding will be allocated to *East Moray & **West Moray with an additional allocation to the eight Associated School Groups for projects which will be put forward by and for young people.

Money for Moray wants to put YOU in control of how and where it’s spent.

The ‘Money for Moray’ initiative lets the local community decide for themselves which projects are needed in the area.

*East Moray consists of Speyside, Keith, Milne’s and Buckie Associated School Groups.
**West Moray consists of Forres, Elgin (x2) and Lossiemouth Associated School Groups.
On the application form, please tick the appropriate box.
If your project is Moray wide please tick East/ West according to where your organisation is based.
