Alternative Sources of Funding
The City of Edinburgh Council Library Service runs a national database of potential funding sources - Edinburgh 4 Community. If your group is looking for funding then we recommend you visit this site. All you need to log in is a library card number.
Each month colleagues in the Community Planning Team produce and circulate a list which provides information on sources of external funding and local activities as and when we become aware of it. Each month tends to look at a specific theme eg young people, education or sport etc Please note this list is by no means exhaustive and the information contained therein is believed to be correct at the time of circulation.
