Main Grant Funding Programme 2025
‘Bringing People Together’
The OneCity Trust exists to tackle the impact that poverty has on people in Edinburgh. While we recognise that our fund cannot solve poverty and social isolation on its own, we believe that simple activities can have substantial and lasting impact on individuals.
In 2025 we want to support activities which bring people who are impacted by poverty and social isolation together in ways which are creative, impactful and have the potential to have a lasting legacy.
Funding Available: In 2025, grants available will be up to a maximum £5,000. However, we recognise that impactful activities can often cost less, and we welcome applications of less than £5,000.
We want to see projects that promote community activities, reduce poverty and the impact of poverty, tackle inequalities and enhance diversity and equality e.g. lunch clubs, cooking groups, arts and crafts and DIY projects.
