If you know of a charity project which intends to provide benefit to health or social causes in the North of Scotland, please download an application form - see below.

Please remember that Highland Cross can only provide capital funds and cannot support revenue or staff costs.  Applications must be with Highland Cross by 31 October.

Applications undergo an initial screening.  If successful at that stage, applications to be one of the principal charities will have the opportunity to present their case to a selection panel in Inverness.

Charities are chosen by an independent Charity Selection Panel of three members who are quite separate from the Organising Committee.  The Selection Panel interview the charities that apply for the support and inform the Organisers of the nominated causes.  The Organising Committee do not select the charities as a number of the Organisers are professionally involved with charity work in the Highlands.

Applications for smaller amounts of assistance should also be made by 31 October each year, and if surplus funds are available from that year’s event, a distribution may be able to be made thereafter.  Whether charities are looking for funding for a small project, or to be a major beneficiary, applications can be made by writing or e-mailing Highland Cross.

Alternatively, a copy of the application form can be requested from the organisers, and the completed form should be sent with the required supporting documents to Highland Cross Organisers, Redwood, 19 Culduthel Road, Inverness, IV2 4AA.
