Neighbourhoods you can apply to
The Community Grant Fund (CGF) is split into 13 funding pots, each covering a different area of the city. The amount of money available in each pot is based on the number of people living there. Our small grants are for projects that aim to benefit a very local area, so projects working with people across large areas or the whole city will not be eligible.
You can apply for funding in the areas below:
- Almond - no funding remaining for 2026/27
- City Centre - no funding remaining for 2026/27
- Craigentinny and Duddingston - no funding remaining for 2026/27
- Forth - no funding remaining for 2026/27
- Inverleith - no funding remaining for 2026/27
- Liberton and Gilmerton - no funding remaining for 2026/27
- Leith (via the LeithChooses public vote) - funding available £44,707.16
- Morningside - no funding remaining for 2026/27
- Pentlands - funding available £9,479.01
- Portobello and Craigmillar - no funding remaining for 2026/27
- South West - funding available £11,465.24
- Southside and Newington - no funding remaining for 2026/27
- Western - funding available £24,728.50
Whatever is not allocated in the first funding round will be spent in the second and final funding round from 18 September - 31 October 2026. Some neighbourhood areas have spent all their funding in the first round. Pentlands, South West and Western are the only neighbourhood areas which have funds remaining for a second funding round.
LeithChooses has one round of funding only.
