Edinburgh Airport Community Fund

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 negative local environmental impacts
• the enhancement of local business, community groups and long-term sustainable partnerships in the airport’s surrounding area
• improving healthy working lives and increasing upskilling and employment opportunities for socially isolated, economically deprived, and disadvantaged persons
• improving care and opportunity, providing shelter, and enabling the rehabilitation of vulnerable groups in the community
• local projects alleviating the effects of the cost of living crisis
