Communities in the area, and their needs
The Scottish Community Foundation awards grants to charities and community groups all over Scotland. We fund projects which tackle a variety of issues, including:
- rural isolation
- urban deprivation
- unemployment
- environmental issues
We're also keen to support projects aiming to:
- improve the health and wellbeing of local residents
- provide training and education opportunities.
Scottish Community Foundation
The Scottish Community Foundation is an expert in charitable giving. As Scotland's busiest grant-maker, we annually distribute approximately £4M on behalf of our clients to exceptional charities and projects across the country. Our in-depth knowledge of the charitable sector ensures our clients' giving makes the greatest and most positive local impact.
