Henry Duncan Grants was re-launched in 2020 with changes including a move to multi-year grants, unrestricted grants, and a rolling programme of micro grants. The fund will focus on a different theme each year. For 2020 this is - Enabling families to cope with the impacts of poverty. See website for future themes.

The Baillie Gifford grants programme supports grass roots community organisations across the whole of Scotland. It replaces Foundation Scotland’s Express Grants programme. Priorities for the programme are: children and families, elderly people, education, environment, health, people who are physically disabled, homelessness, women and grass roots sports.

Small Grants focuses on work that addresses the impacts of poverty and/or trauma under one or more of the following themes: Financial wellbeing, Emotional wellbeing and relationships, and Educational and work pathways. They seek to fund work that: meets people's immediate needs, provides earlier help, tests new approaches or does more of what work, and is universal or targeted. See website for details of target groups.

The Foundation supports a broad range of organisations and activities that share a commitment to making a positive impact to the lives of the communities in which they work, and that are driven by a desire to achieve excellence. They make grants across the UK to organisations in the following categories: Arts; Education; Youth; Health; Community; Museums and Heritage; Environment; Religion and Welfare.

The fund aims to support projects that make a difference to life in, and seek improvement in, the local community. We are keen to support community and voluntary organisations that are charitable, educational, philanthropic or benevolent in purpose. You do not have to be a registered charity to apply for funding but you do have to be able to demonstrate real community impetus and benefits.

The fund supports projects located within or directly benefiting one or more of the three community council areas of Huntly, Strathbogie and Tap O Noth and the area of the Cabrach Community Association. It will support projects which will support positive change and strategic impact, in particular: improve community services and facilities; increase participation in and access to contemporary culture, events and recreational activity; preserve and enhance the natural environment for residents and visitors; promote rural regeneration; celebrate the area's cultural, historic and archaeological heritage.

Dumfries and Galloway Council can provide financial assistance to the third sector (voluntary and community organisations) who can apply to one or more of four Area Committees: Annandale and Eskdale; Nithsdale; Stewartry; Wigtown. Individuals may also apply in certain circumstances.

North Ayrshire Council has a number of Charitable Trusts for particular towns and villages which are intended to provide assistance to those in need. The areas covered by these trusts and the purposes for which funds are held within each trust are determined by the terms of the original bequests made to the Council or its predecessors. Any organisation providing assistance to persons in these areas, or any individual living in these areas, may apply for assistance from the relevant trust. Areas Covered by the Town Charitable Trusts are Beith & Gateside, Dalry, Irvine, Kilbirnie & Glengarnock, Kilwinning and Largs. The Trust purposes applicable are: the prevention or relief of poverty; the provision of recreational facilities or the organisation of recreational activities with the object of improving the conditions of life for the persons for whom the facilities or activities are primarily intended; the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage; the advancement of education (applicable to Beith & Gateside Charitable trust only).

SBT’s mission is to support high growth potential social enterprises to scale-up their impact. They do that by investing cash grants and professional support from seven partner organisations in a carefully selected portfolio of social enterprises. Since 2010 they have positively impacted the lives of 750,000 people, providing £9 million worth of cash and in-kind assistance.

The trust's primary role is to distribute the community fund generated by the Ben Aketil Wind Farm. Any group based in the Isle of Skye that benefits Dunvegan residents can apply for a grant up to the value of £500, towards any project costs.
