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.

On 19 August 2009 representatives of the East Lothian panel for Viridor Credits Scotland went on a short visit to a couple of Edinburgh-based projects that have received grants from the programme in the last year. Both are in north Edinburgh, and both provide football facilities to local young people, and it's fair to say that both projects impressed and surprised those of the panel who were able to come along.
At the February meeting of the Viridor Credits Scotland panel for East Lothian a total of over £58,000 was offered to four community project.
