North East Make It Happen Fund

The North East Make It Happen Fund (MIHF) is run by local people for local people. The aim is to support and encourage local groups, by offering funding to them to support projects and initiatives that create positive change within their communities.

The money comes from the What Matters to You Make It Happen Fund in the North East ward. We have £30,000 available from this grants programme. The grants are administered by Corra, who are supporting the running of the fund.

The North East Make It Happen Fund is run by a group of people recruited from the North East ward (Dalclaverhouse, Mill O Mains, Emmock Woods, Whitfield, Fintry, Ballumbie) who have designed, developed and are the community voices that make decisions on the funding distributed by What Matters to You via The Corra Foundation.

The fund is open to applications that benefit and include the people of the North East ward through:

  • Creating a fairer more equitable community.
  • Creating a more inclusive community.
  • Contributing to community wealth building

We were delighted to share £25,979 of funding with 13 local groups at a Celebration event at Finmill Community Centre on Tuesday 16th June 2026.

We will post any updates on the North East Make It Happen Fund here as they become available.
