Introducing our Strong Foundations Grant Awardees in Edinburgh
Congratulations to those charity and community projects in Edinburgh that have been awarded a share of our Strong Foundations Grant.
Our Strong Foundations Grant was launched last month to attract community and charity groups in Edinburgh to apply for a share of our fund.
Following a 4-week application window, we received 13 applications via Action Funder from those eligible groups that require funding or support for new ideas or existing projects. Successful applications were shortlisted, and a judging panel of Sir Robert McAlpine representatives selected the winning projects, which have been awarded up to £3,000 each.
Thank you to all those that applied and congratulations to our awardees.
Special thanks also to our client at Quartermile who supported with extra funds so we could support the following five community projects.
