Community Grants
Forward Scotland designs, develops and delivers a number of grant schemes offering funding to support practical, community-based projects promoting sustainable development. Some grant schemes are managed by Forward Scotland alone while we may be part of a wider management structure led by another organisation in others. Each scheme funds different types of project, with grants typically ranging from £500 to £300,000 depending on the scheme's criteria.  This section contains more information about our current schemes as well as application forms and guidance notes for each. Forward Scotland welcomes approaches from grant distributors and can provide a transparent and accountable mechanism for distributing funds to community groups and other organisations across Scotland.


Current Schemes

Forward Scotland is providing funds to communities in North & South Lanarkshire, East Lothian, Edinburgh and parts of the Scottish Borders from contributions received through the Landfill Communities Fund generated by Viridor Waste Management. To read more and apply for a grant click here .
