The airport will make £80,000 available to community groups and charities during the first meeting of its 2025 Community Fund.
Applications are now open and successful groups will be notified following the April funding awards.
Further meetings will then take place in August and November where the remainder of the funding for 2025 will be allocated.
Last year 102 different projects were awarded funding as the airport supported groups working to improve services and opportunities for local people.
These included:
🌻 £7,000 to develop Strathbrock Community Garden.
🙌 More than £5,500 for communal mountain bikes and safety equipment for 46th Fife Scout Group.
🚲 £4,600 for Passion4Fusion to purchase communal bikes for BME families.

Groups should be based and deliver services in Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and Falkirk.
Priority will be given to those whose work reflects the four pillars within the airport's Greater Good sustainability strategy - Trusted Neighbour, Zero Carbon, Scotland's Best Business, and Enhancing Scotland.
Gordon Robertson, Chief Communications and Sustainability Officer, said:
"Our Community Fund is one way we can share the success of the airport with the communities closest us, and this year we want to support even more of the groups and charities doing great work in their local area.
"By making £80,000 available in April we're starting off strongly, and now is the ideal time for groups who'd perhaps been considering an application to put themselves forward.
"Whether you're involved in a community radio station, a community garden, or a Scout group - we'd encourage anyone who thinks their group could benefit from a funding boost to get in touch."
