As a Trust Port, our purpose is to create prosperity for generations and the local community is one of our key stakeholders.
Central to this commitment is our supPORT-all community action proramme. We partner with local charities and community group to provide project funding, as well as support with time, resources, or equipment, to help those most in need.
“The funding from our neighbours at Port of Aberdeen will support two new groups providing meals for OAPs and children in the local community.”

The supPORT-all programme currently does not accept funding applications for more than £7,500.
This will be bolstered by commitments from Port of Aberdeen to provide time, resources or equipment when appropriate.
Applications made to supPORT-all should be for a specific project or initiative, with clear aims and measurable impacts.

Please note that meeting the funding criteria does not guarantee that funding will be provided.
The supPORT-all programme is competitive and each application is considered on its own individual merit. Applications that make the most convincing case for funding are most likely to be awarded funding.
All applications are reviewed, scored and shortlisted by Port of Aberdeen's Engagement Committee which comprises employees from each department across the port from varying levels of seniority.
Successful applicants will be informed week commencing 18 March 2024.
The 2024 supPORT-all program is no longer accepting applications.
Port of Aberdeen also offers a separate fund designated for smaller community projects. To enquire about this funding, please get in touch with details of your funding request.
“I am so excited about the opportunities that Port of Aberdeen's funding opens for us. It will have a massive reach throughout the Foyer enabling so many groups to make huge differences across Aberdeen City whilst developing their own skills, confidence, and community involvement and connections.”
Since its launch in 2015, Big Noise Torry has worked with over 750 children and young people from the Torry community, using an orchestral setting to teach life skills and experiences.
Funding from Port of Aberdeen will allowed Big Noise Torry to expand the programme to a full symphony orchestra model through the introduction of wind and brass instruments to pupils. The new trumpets, flutes and clarinets will ensure as many young people as possible are benefitting from Big Noise Torry.
Port of Aberdeen also support the management and coordination of school concerts by providing volunteers from its communications department.
