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.

The Robertson Trust wants to support smaller charities and community groups who are doing good work in their communities which fits their funding strands: Care and Wellbeing - Improving the quality of life for those affected by physical and/or mental health issues and their carers; Strengthening Communities - Increasing the ability and capacity of people and communities to create solutions which address local need; Realising Potential – Developing confidence and resilience in young people, particularly those who face barriers to success.

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 Building Scotland Fund is a £150 million fund which helps: the development of new affordable and private sector housing; the development of modern industrial and commercial property; support industry-led research and development. Funding is only available up to March 2021 so is best used to help projects that are at a later stage of development. This means funding is unlikely to be available if your project is at a concept stage.

The Foundation is funded by Leeds Building Society and its members. The Foundation primarily provides funding towards practical items that directly support those in need including those with disabilities, affected by homelessness, or with serious health issues. They focus on people who either live or work in the areas served by the Society's branches which are located throughout the UK. In Scotland they have branches in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

The Gannochy Trust is an independent grant maker, informed by its Funding Strategy and Guidance for 2019 to 2022. During this funding strategy, the greater percentage of the Trust’s funding will be aimed at groups and organisations within Perth and Kinross. Organisations within Perth and Kinross can apply for funding: improve the quality of life for people; develop and inspire young people and improve the availability or quality of the built and natural environment for wide community use. In the rest of Scotland the “develop and inspire young people” strand is available to organisations which support direct work with young people who are disadvantaged and vulnerable in communities that have limited access to resources and opportunities. The Trust aims to fund the most compelling projects or organisations that deliver the outcomes that they hope to achieve with our funding, particularly for young people. The Trust will accept applications from organisations working in areas such as community, sport, culture including art, music and dance, youth work, environment, health and wellbeing and heritage.

The Plugged-in Households Grant Fund (PiHHs Grant Fund) is an opportunity for not-for-profit housing associations, housing cooperatives and constituted community groups in Scotland to apply for funding to procure the services of a zero emission car club vehicle, for use by their tenants and the wider local community. A car club provides shared access to one or more vehicles as an alternative to private car ownership. This provides: affordable access to zero-emission vehicles to households across Scotland, including those without allocated off-street parking; a viable alternative to owning a vehicle for people who only need one occasionally; access to alternative transport options for people who don't have their own vehicle; an opportunity to experience electric vehicles regardless of income or location.

The overall aims of the funding in the social and criminal justice area are to prevent people entering the criminal justice system and to support those already in the system to move on and rebuild their lives. They fund early intervention programmes with young children and their families, tailored preventative work with young people at risk, and holistic support services aimed at reducing re-offending and aiding re-settlement. The Foundation also looks to alleviate the consequences of domestic abuse and criminal exploitation of vulnerable persons.

Donations from the foundation are made to mainly small and medium sized registered charities throughout Scotland, targeting things like community welfare, medical support and research, the arts, education and heritage conservation.

The Trust is committed to supporting: the provision of adequate shelter for those in need; encouraging Jewish family innovation; developing community and civil society in Glasgow and Scotland; seed funding creative ideas to solve challenges facing the Jewish community and society in general.
