Community Grants Information
The City Centre Neighbourhood Partnership awards community grants to eligible parties and we are keen that the funding is used to make a real difference to people's quality of life.
This year, 2009/10, the Partnership has an allocation of £29,864 to award to suitable projects.
Applications of up to £5,000 are welcomed from constituted community groups with open membership and are available on a first come first served basis.
Since the City Centre Partnership was formed in 2007 a number of groups have benefited from the 
Community Grants Fund it distributes. Examples of groups and projects that have received funding are as follows:
- £3750 to the New Town and Broughton Community Council for website development
- £5000 to the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop for the development of a public garden in the Grassmarket
- £4976 to the Canongate Youth Project for a holiday activity programme
- £2,563 to the Indian Music and Dance Collective to help promote Indian music and cuture
- £5000 to the St. Mary's Cathedral Workshops for masterplanning commissioning
- £4074 to the Croft-An-Righ Social Club for a programme of social and cultural activities for sheltered housing residents
- £4,846 to the Grassmarket Residents' Association to provide set up costs and associated events
