Over 500 groups benefit from £2 million

Posted on 11 May 2020 by Christie McAlpine

Groups working to support communities through the coronavirus pandemic have benefitted from essential funding thanks to Foundation Scotland.

In partnership with the National Emergencies Trust, Foundation Scotland is administering the Community Response, Recovery and Resilience Fund which supports local charities and grassroots organisations across Scotland to help them respond to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and recover from its impact.

They have distributed more than £2 million to over 500 groups across Scotland in just 6 weeks and are still accepting applications for between £1,000 - £5,000.

You can see a full list of what's been funded on the Foundation Scotland website here or follow them on twitter for regular updates @FoundationScot
