Edinburgh Community Groups Invited to Apply for £10,000 Fund

Miller Homes, Scotland’s leading homebuilder, is inviting local groups and community causes near its West Craigs Manor, Edgelaw View and West Craigs Mews developments in Edinburgh to apply for the first round of its 2026 Community Fund, which is offering a share of £10,000 to those in need.

The company is encouraging organisations that aim to make a lasting impact in their local area to apply, with applications now open until Wednesday 29 April 2026.

Since its launch in 2022, the Community Fund has made a significant difference to local communities across Scotland, awarding £105,000 to organisations supporting people and projects in areas close to Miller Homes developments. Across the UK, the initiative has distributed more than £400,000 to good causes, helping a wide range of projects from music groups and sports teams to foodbanks and community spaces.

In 2025, the Community Fund supported 18 organisations across Scotland across two funding rounds, distributing £20,000 to community groups and charities.

David McGrath, Executive Managing Director for Miller Homes Scotland and North said:

“At Miller Homes, we’re passionate about giving back to the communities where we build. Through the Community Fund, we’ve been able to support many groups across Scotland, whether that’s by helping them launch new initiatives or by ensuring they can continue their valuable work in the local community. We look forward to seeing the creative and impactful ways local organisations plan to use this grant.”

Applicants will be asked to illustrate how they would use the grant to benefit the community, with support ranging from a minimum of £250 to a maximum of £2,000. Successful groups will be awarded mid-June.
