The Fund Strategy should also make clear what the Fund will not support. This may be specific types of organisation, costs or types of activity. Exclusions may have been suggested during the community planning process, but there are also likely to be things that the renewable energy business has stated the monies cannot be used for. Common examples are spend: on the promotion of activity that is exclusively religious or political, that is contrary to the business interests of the renewable energy business (e.g. campaigns against renewable energy) and the delivery of statutory duties.
Again, if the Fund is to be charitable in nature, this may also restrict the purposes to which monies can be applied – see section 2.1 above. It is a good idea to state clearly in all of the Fund material that only charitable activity can be supported through the Fund, where this is the case.
