The University of St Andrews has launched the first round of this year's Community Fund.
It supports project across Fife with awards of up to £3000.
Groups to benefit recently include Largo Communities Together, the Byre Youth Theatre and People Learning about Nature in Tayport (PLANT).
Local and organisations promoting environmental sustainability are particularly encouraged to apply in this round.
The latest funding round was announced by Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Dame Sally Mapstone at an event held at the University last week to showcase local projects and mark three full years of the fund.
In her speech, Professor Mapstone said the core University offer to the fund is £30,000 per year but donations from private donors have substantially extended the offer made.
She added: “This is a true recognition of the connection that alumni and supporters feel not only with the University but also with the town and its wider community.”
