The Edinburgh Airport Community Fund has up to £86,000 available to local groups to be decided at the next meeting on 28th August 2026.

    • Make a positive difference to those who could benefit from additional funding and potential increased public exposure.

    • Fulfil the airport’s commitment to be a trusted neighbour that provides tangible benefits to its community.

Criteria for Funding
