Details

The Community Fund was established to ensure local communities benefit from Edinburgh Airport activities. It provides financial support to community groups and charities that are committed to improving the opportunities, facilities and services available to local people.

The fund will consider applications from Edinburgh, Falkirk, the Lothians and Fife. Priority will be given to applications which reflect the four pillars of the airport’s Greater Good sustainability strategy - Zero Carbon, Enhancing Scotland, Scotland’s Best Business and Trusted Neighbour.

Initiatives could include:

• The mitigation against and reduction of the effects of a changing climate.
• The reduction of local, negative environmental impacts.
• Supporting local biodiversity, rewilding, and/or restoration of the natural world.
• The enhancement of local business, community groups and long-term sustainable partnerships in the airport’s surrounding area.
• Improving healthy working lives and increase upskilling and employment opportunities for the socially isolated, economically deprived, and/or otherwise disadvantaged persons.
• Improving care, expanding opportunity, providing shelter, and enabling rehabilitation of vulnerable groups in the community.
• Providing urgent, targeted, local support during the cost-of-living crisis.
