What grants are available?

There is one single ‘grant pot’, which currently stands at £54,102 altogether. This money comes from the City of Edinburgh Council ‘Community Grants’ fund (£46,102) and from generous donations from Port of Leith Housing Association (£3,000), and from Trams to Newhaven (£5,000).

Groups can only put forward one project bid in total, for any amount up to a maximum of £5,000.

So at least 9 projects can be funded, from this pot, with partial funding for a further project. Perhaps more projects than that will get an award, as not all groups apply for the full £5,000 grant. (Groups are encouraged to apply for just what they need for their project.. Smaller projects can be very effective, and popular.)
