Local community fund
Bristol Airport makes grants to community groups in the local area most affected by the Airport’s operations. Two schemes are available:
-
Airport Environmental and Amenity Improvement Fund (AEAIF)*
The AEAIF is available to fund projects in the local area of the Airport and has set criteria and shall be used for the purposes of mitigation to address unforeseen adverse environmental impacts or adverse impacts on the amenity of the local community arising from the Development.
*also known as Bristol Airport’s Local Community Fund 2024
-
Diamond Fund
The Diamond Fund will support smaller sized projects in the local area which do not meet the criteria for the Airport Environmental and Amenity Improvement Fund.
