ChangeX, a non-profit organisation that connects communities with proven ideas and funding to empower impactful projects, recently launched the Sheskin Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund, supported by Encavis Asset Management. The fund is designed for non profits, informal community groups, and individuals to access funding for projects related to education (child or adult) or that deliver an environmental benefit to the local community. Funding of up to €15,000 per project is available, and applications will close on April 18.
