We have received funding to support the following projects.

In 2002 Ekopia received a grant of £1,000 from the Development Trusts Association ‘Knowledge and Skills Exchange’ programme to enable us to attend the DTA Annual Conference in Plymouth, England as part of a Scottish delegation.

In 2003 Ekopia was awarded a grant of £21,562 from the Scottish Community & Householder Renewable Initiative, administered by Highlands and Islands Enterprise’s Community Energy Unit. This grant was provided to support the plans for expanding the generation of electricity from wind turbines at the Park, Findhorn.

In 2004 we received a Development Trusts Association Scotland small grant to assist us in visiting the Isle of Gigha Heritage Trust and Mull Iona Community Trust. The Isle of Gigha was planning a similar wind project to our own (now both complete) and MICT have set up a successful recycling project.

In the same year we received £5,354 from The Funding Network to enable us to support an Ecovillage Institute youth exchange initiative to rural Bolivia with the aim of providing improved water treatment organic waste composting and reforestation. This project was undertaken in collaboration with Aldeas Infantiles SOS, LookFar Connections and Ocean Arks International.

Also in 2004 we received a total of £5,000 from Development Trusts Association Scotland (in turn supported by the European Community’s ‘Equal’ programme) to research the provision of affordable housing in the Ecovillage.

In 2006, with the generous support of Duneland Ltd. and the Barrels East Cluster Group. we negotiated a new 'Land Trust project' which has enabled us to own some communal amenity land in Findhorn.

We have also received the support of Co:operative Development Scotland for our affordable housing project.
