Ready to turn a bold idea into a game-changing community project? We’re here for it. The Live Bold Community Fund is hunting for inspiring projects and forward-thinking organisations to back in 2025. If you’ve got the vision, we want to help you make it happen.
At Macb, community runs deep, just like the historic well we’ve been drawing from in MacDuff for over 200 years. We’ve seen first hand how local projects spark change and bring people together. That’s why we’re all in with the Live Bold Community Fund. Without sounding too cheesy *cough cough*, it’s about turning bold dreams into reality and creating ripples of real impact where they matter most.
What is the Live Bold Community Fund?
Think of it as a high-five for your community’s brightest ideas. The Live Bold Community Fund fuels projects and businesses that boost healthier lifestyles, inspire physical activity, and, most importantly, spreads joy. Every year, we champion standout local organisations by giving them the funding they need (and sometimes a whole lot of Macb flavoured water) to make magic happen.
How to Get Involved
Got a project that’s ready to soar? Know a local initiative that needs a lift? Head to our Live Bold Community Fund page and nominate a project you believe in. The form’s open most of the year, so no need to rush, but don’t wait too long. Big opportunities don’t stick around forever.
A Look Back at Last Year’s Bold Moments
Last year, we powered up five incredible projects that brought the bold and delivered big.
- Making Waves at Sandend Surf Club – We helped tiny surfers catch their first waves with baby surfboards and funded free lessons for women and kids.
- Deveronvale Community FC’s Summer Camp – We kitted-out young footballers with gear and shirts so they could focus on the game and the good times.
- Banffshire Community Band’s New Groove – With fresh instruments and new equipment, we kept the beat alive and the tunes flowing.
- Cattleskate’s Gear-Up – From boards to helmets, pads, and plenty of Macb water, we kept skaters ready to roll and stay safe doing it.
- Enable Deveronside’s Unforgettable Summer Ball – A first-ever celebration packed with connection, laughter, and memories, all made possible with a little help from Macb.
These projects are an inspiration to our community – now it’s your turn to bring the next wave of brilliance.
