The Sigatoka Wind Farm Community Fund is open to existing groups and individuals (once they form a team) to start new projects, or expand an existing project, in their community.

The project must address at least one of the following themes: Energy, Health & Wellbeing, Sports & Recreation, Culture & Heritage, Sustainability & Environment, Inclusion, Diversity, & Equity, and Education & Access.

Examples of eligible groups include schools, universities, colleges, daycares, hospitals and hospital rehabilitation centers, mental health facilities, community gardens, neighbourhood groups, senior citizen centers, community centers, and recognized government entities. 

The project must take place within a 10km radius of Sigatoka Wind Farm.

There is funding available to help support communities to expand or develop an existing project. There will be a review process by Sigatoka Wind Farm (Statkraft Asset Management Ltd) and those applications that best fit the criteria will be allocated funding.
