An identical sum goes to 8th Paisley Boys' Brigade Company to deliver two community events in Paisley to celebrate the coronation.
There is also a £450 grant for Mossvale Community Church, also based in Paisley, to host a celebratory coronation workshop where new Scots will make their own decorative bunting and have an afternoon tea.
Kate Still, Scotland chair of the National Lottery Community Fund, said: "Thanks to National Lottery players, these events and activities will help to promote community cohesion and engage people from different generations and cultures to get to know one another and share experiences.
"By helping communities celebrate such a historic occasion, we hope to inspire a legacy of positive change that allows people to thrive together."
