Grant Awards Programme (GAP)
Grants Platform Testing
We are pleased to announce that selected Community and Voluntary Sector (CVS) organisations have now been invited to test our new online grants platform. Organisations covering the areas of Kilsyth and Villages, Northern Corridor, Shotts and North Lanarkshire wide are invited to use the new online application form.
If your organisation has received an invitation email, please register as soon as possible. Organisations that have already completed the North Lanarkshire Council Community and Voluntary Sector registration form will be able to access their existing details by entering their registration number.
New organisations, or those who have not yet completed the registration form, will be guided to complete this step before progressing to the application task.
The platform replaces the traditional paper application and will streamline how organisations apply for funding.
The deadline for completing applications during this testing phase is **5.00 pm on Sunday 4 January 2026**. We recommend completing your application in early December while support is fully available.
Testing organisations should have a look at the frequently asked questions below.
For assistance or further information, please contact our Grants Team.
