Community grants

Our scheme helps the development of projects, community activities and sustainable local action through funding and collaboration. We support local people's vision for a better Edinburgh.

 

The Community Grants Scheme is now open.

Our micro-grant scheme is also open all year round for applications for funding of up to £500. Applications are welcome from not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises. 

 

The Community Grant Scheme is now closed. The next round will open in spring 2025.

As well as our Community Grants Scheme that opens twice a year, local organisations can apply for a smaller award of up to £500 through our micro-grant scheme.

Over five years, our Community Grant Scheme has supported community-led initiatives across South East Scotland, disbursing over £555,700 to 176 organisations.

Since 2017 we've provided more than £600,000 to over 200 incredibly worthwhile community projects across the Edinburgh City Region.

The projects funded through the Edinburgh Local Community Grants Scheme are doing great work across the city. Read the inspirational stories from some of the projects.

We’re delighted that The University of Edinburgh has awarded us a grant which will help our organisation deliver even more important programmes for local people.
