Associate Partners Community Benefit Fund
As a not-for-profit organisation, any surplus generated over the financial year is re-distributed into SPA’s Community Benefit Fund. SPA’s Committee Partners are eligible to apply for a portion of the fund each year to use for projects for their local community.
We work in partnership with Lintel Trust who manage the fund and support Committee Partners in their delivery of community benefit projects, including sourcing match funding. Projects and causes must meet specific criteria determined by partners to ensure the Fund is used to support local needs and communities.
We are committed in driving social value through our public sector procurement activities and through our Community Benefit Funding, we can enhance lives and places in the communities we serve.
Our "Client Guide to CBF Allocation" explains how the CBF allocation works, the different CBF funding routes, and how you can access and use your allocation.
You can also find some examples of projects funded by our Community Benefit Fund inside our "CBF Project Library" below:
It’s been another busy and successful year for SPA’s Community Benefit Fund with over £220,000 distributed through the fund and match funding to projects across Scotland. From COVID-19 relief projects to community First Aid training, this year SPA’s fund has almost 19,000 beneficiaries through 15 projects.
