The Community Grants Fund 2025/26 is now open for applications!

Constituted local voluntary organisations and community groups are invited to apply to the Community Grants Fund for grants of up to £5,000 for projects that benefit local communities such as Southside/Newington. 

CGF funding is first come first served, so while some areas of the city may have more than one round of funding, I encourage groups to apply now to ensure your project has the best chance of being funded. The deadline for applications is midnight on 30 April 2025. 

Please apply using the online application form: https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/cgfapply.
