Community Grants

Destination Tweed’s Community Grants Scheme was launched to support projects based within 2 km of the River Tweed (or within 2 km of links to Biggar and Moffat), on the themes of Nature, History and Stories.

This fund was open to applications between June 2024 and June 2025 and is supporting 30 projects, awarding over £200,000 in grants of up to £10,000 to community groups and organisations all along the river.

Community Grants is led by Tweed Forum.

Supported Projects

 

Our minimum grant amount is £1,000, and our maximum is £10,000. Our grant should represent at least 10% of your project costs.

You can potentially apply more than once, with no less than 12 months between applications, however this is dependent on available funds and therefore should not be relied upon.

Any previous projects funded by this Community Grants Scheme must be completed before you apply again.

The fourth and final deadline for applications to this fund was on Wednesday 11th of June 2025. We do not anticipate re-opening the grants scheme to new applications.

Please contact info@destinationtweed.org for guidance and advice on the application process. We advise you to discuss your project with the Destination Tweed team in advance of applying, to ensure that your project is eligible.

Please note that the fourth and final deadline for applications has passed (Wednesday 11th June 2025) and we do not anticipate re-opening the grants scheme to new applications.
