Bids are invited for grants that help local groups make greater impact across the city.
The new round of funding is now open and will award grants of up to £5000 per project. Applications close on 15 April 2019. Additionally, as of March 2019, you can apply for up to £500 at any time.
Previously recipients include a student-run clinic offering free veterinary care for pets of homeless people. The community grant funded additional clinics to help meet demand. Other beneficiaries include a sustainable beekeeping project helping vulnerable young people connect with nature, and a charity supporting women suffering from domestic abuse, poverty and poor mental health.
Successful projects must make a positive social impact, create learning opportunities and increase engagement between the University and local communities. Applications are invited from not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises in Edinburgh, Fife, the Lothians and the Scottish Borders.
Hugh Edmiston, Director of Corporate Services Group at the University of Edinburgh, said: “We hope we can contribute to communities and support some of the fantastic local organisations who are doing great work in the Edinburgh region.”
