Community Fund
The East Midlands Airport Community Fund was established in April 2002 and since then over £280,000 has been pledged to a whole range of initiatives which aim to bring lasting benefit to the communities around the airport.
The Community Fund is managed independently by a Community Fund Management Committee that meets four times a year, and is open to community groups within a defined ‘area of benefit’.

The Fund is supported by a substantial annual donation from the airport and through the fines imposed when aircraft exceed our strict noise limits. The Community Fund awards grants to support eligible projects that have a long-lasting community and/or environmental benefit.
