Applications Open for Third Wave of GRID Civic Grant Fund

10 Jun 2026

The University of Glasgow has launched the third round of its GRID Civic Grant Fund, inviting organisations across the Glasgow Riverside Innovation District (GRID) to apply for a share of £50,000 to support community-led projects.

Since 2024, the fund has invested over £125,000 into more than 50 initiatives - benefiting more than 8500 people and supporting activities spanning education, sustainability, arts, wellbeing and social inclusion.

Previous recipients such as 12 Guitars and Momentum Films highlight the fund’s impact in expanding access to creative opportunities, building community connections and supporting grassroots innovation.

With grants of up to £5,000 available (and smaller awards up to £850), the programme continues to back locally rooted organisations delivering meaningful change.

The deadline for the larger grants is 17 July 2026, while applications for the smaller awards are open throughout the year.
