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.
