Community Grants Fund
The Neighbourhood Partnership Community Grants Fund is a small
grants scheme (provided by the Council).
Neighbourhood Partnerships can award small grants of up to
£5,000 to constitued groups for local community activity that
supports the work of the Neighbourhood Partnership and its
Local Community Plan.
Almost £22,000 was available in Portobllo and
Craigmillar this year, and almost £16,000 was awarded at the
meeting of 8 June. The balance of nearly £6,000 was awarded
at the meeting of the Neigbourhood Partnership on 14
September. Eleven local projects benefitted from awards
ranging from £250 to £4,000.
There is no funding left to allocate this year. It is
anticipated that there will be another Grants Fund next year, and
this should be confirmed early in the new year.

NEW GRANT FINDING WEBSITE
edinburgh4community is a great new online
service for grant finding which allows you to search through
hundreds of Government, Lottery, charitable trust and other funds
available on a European, national, regional and local
basis. It provides information about funding for individuals,
charities, community groups, social enterprises and voluntary
organisations.
It can be used at home and from the library and can be
found on Your Library at http://yourlibrary.edinburgh.gov.uk/grants. Users
will need to register on the site the first time they use
it. This service is a replacement
for Funderfinder which will not be available from the end
of April.
