The Growing Community Assets grants will help pay for new builds, developments and extensions to buildings for community use.
Announcing the funding, BLF Chair Maureen McGinn said: "Thanks to National Lottery players, this £10 million investment will transform the landscape of ten Scottish communities. But, more than that, it puts local people in charge of their futures.
"We know from a decade of Growing Community Assets funding that community ownership can deliver huge social, educational and economic opportunities. Today's successful projects are great examples of this in action and show that local people are best placed to identify what their community needs to develop and thrive."
These are the final grants to be announced as part of the Fund, which has invested £98m into 181 projects over the last 10 years.
