Change local lives with a grant of up to £5,000
We’re so pleased to let you know that the 7th round of the University of Edinburgh’s Community Grants scheme is open.
The scheme helps the development of projects, community activities and sustainable local action through funding and collaboration.
The deadline to submit your application is 5pm on Friday 25th September 2020.
Who can apply?
Applications are welcome for projects which could benefit people living in the City of Edinburgh and/or the neighbouring local authority areas, and should show how they could grow relationships between local communities and the University.
If you’re thinking of applying and don’t currently have a relationship with the University, the University’s Community Team is happy to try and put you in touch with members of the University who might be interested in your work.
What about Covid-19?
Projects which could help local communities adapt to the Covid-19 pandemic are welcome, but this is not a requirement.
How much funding can I get?
Applications for substantially less than £5,000 are welcome. However, if you require £500 or less, you may also be interested in the University’s Micro-grant scheme.
Since the University launched its Community Grants scheme in 2017, it has awarded over £270,000 to around 80 local organisations.
