The Kapital Foundation is a Charitable Trust with an independent Board of Trustees who are charged with the responsibility of investing funds to maximize the goals of the Foundation. We seek to embrace our responsibilities in the community we serve, with two over-riding aims:

1. Helping young people achieve more in their lives.

Potential is plentiful, abounding in young people from every corner of society.  We all have an obligation to help discover and nurture it and The Kapital Foundation supports programmes that expose raw talent to the kind of experiences and opportunities that can shape and channel that talent for future leadership.

2. To contribute to the creation and development of strong, sustainable and inclusive communities.

Our objectives are to :

• develop a new “model” community for the design and management of 21st Century homes and neighbourhoods, creating the conservation areas of tommorrow
• to take responsibility to future generations very seriously by setting exceptional standards in environmental design and sustainability
• influence the debate on affordable housing
• assess how community assets can contribute to a thriving civil society
• fund new and more effective ways of engaging residents in developing and managing homes and neighbourhoods

In 2010 we are promoting a new community on the edge of Scotland’s original Garden City at Rosyth. The priorities are first, an environmentally sustainable development which will not impact adversely on neighbouring communities; second, the creation of a strong mixed tenure community with a high quality of life for residents; and third, a model which others contemplating edge-of-town extensions may find useful. An over arching priority will remain the creation of a vibrant community with a high level of involvement by its citizens in decisions that affect them all.

The aim is to achieve a high proportion of affordable housing, top quality design with well-used green space, good traffic management and a safe and sustainable environment. Homes will be available to provide a well integrated mix of different types and tenures to support all incomes and ages with options including 'rent to buy' and 'shared equity'. We will also assist with finance packages for first time buyers.

We are also supporting The Bus Shelter, an initiative to help the homeless.

Chairman of the Kapital Foundation is Keith Punler.
