What do we fund?

The Foundation distributes its funds to recognised charities in Scotland which are focused on improving the quality of life for people in Scotland who are disadvantaged or at risk of becoming disadvantaged. It has a particular emphasis on funding grassroots charities.

Criteria are set by our Trustees in a way which attempts to include a wide variety of charitable activity. These criteria are reviewed every three years in consultation with the voluntary sector.
