Abstract

This set of Guiding Principles and Actions for Enhancing Community Benefits from Community Benefit Funds is a response to the growing number of Community Benefit Funds (CBFs) in Scotland. These Guiding Principles and Actions (GPAs) offer up-to-date and evidence-based guidance on how best to structure and govern CBFs through their lifecycles to ensure that they maximise long term, wide-ranging benefit to communities for generations to come. The GPAs are designed to be technology-agnostic, meaning they can be flexibly applied across different sectors.
