Community Groups in Eastfield are to share £150,000 though a new Cash for Causes Scheme which sees local people decide how the money gets spent.
Grants are available to support projects with an ambition to improve the quality of life for Eastfield residents in one or more of five specific areas: people, place, employment, aspiration and community facilities.
Cash for Causes is a three-year investment scheme with funding decisions being made mostly by local people.
More than 20 residents have come forward to be part of a review panel with representatives of organisations in the Eastfield PACT regeneration partnership.
The group will decide which projects provide the most benefits to the people of Eastfield.
The scheme is financed through the sale of land to the Middle Deepdale housing development.
Scarborough Borough Councillor Tony Randerson says it's great to see the money finally being allocated.
A ‘micro grants’ scheme of up to £500 will operate alongside the main Cash for Causes programme.
It is for informal groups of residents or individuals who want to try something within their community or where a small amount of money may address an identified community issue.
Councillor Randerson is encouraging local groups to apply for a share of the money.
