Small Grants
Revenue funding for registered charities with an annual income of between £30,000 and £200,000.
This is one of our four funding offers for registered charities who work to address poverty and trauma in Scotland.
Overview
- For registered charities with an annual income of between £30,000 and £200,000.
- Unrestricted or restricted revenue funding of between £5,000 and £20,000 per year, normally for 3 years but may be considered for up to five years in exceptional circumstances. This can include the costs of equipment to support your work.
- For work that is clearly and intentionally aligned to a priority described within one or more of our funding themes. Details of our themes and priorities are as follows*:
- We’ll aim to give you a funding decision within 8 to 10 weeks of receiving your application. If there are any changes to this timescale, we'll notify applicants on an individual basis.
*We will be launching a fourth funding theme later this year, following on from our previous Emotional Wellbeing and Relationships theme, with a sharper focus aligned to the aims of our strategy. Please sign up to our mailing list to receive details of this when they become available.
To apply, you'll need:
- At least three unconnected Trustees on your charity’s Board.
- Recent independently examined or audited annual accounts (unless you are a newly registered charity).
- A safeguarding policy if working with young or vulnerable people.
- A full job description if your request is for funding towards a specific salary cost.
