Funding for Scottish-based organisations:
We are aware of the following funding opportunities for Scottish-based organisations affected by Covid-19:
- Third Sector Resilience Fund - a £20m emergency fund for charities, community groups, social enterprises and voluntary organisations which find themselves in financial difficulties directly as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
- Community Response, Recovery & Resilience Fund - the National Emergencies Trust has set up a Coronavirus Appeal to raise funds for local charities and grassroots organisations that can provide vital support - funds for Scottish organisations will be distributed by Foundation Scotland.
- Creative Scotland - three funding programmes have been launched to help provide further support to sustain the country’s creative community impacted by coronavirus.
- CAF Coronavirus Emergency Fund - grants of up to £10,000 to help smaller organisations to continue to deliver much needed support.
- Corra Foundation – a series of unrestricted immediate micro-grants have been offered directly to 31 organisations who have held Scottish Government small grants with Corra in the last year to help support their activities overseas and their partners at this difficult time (this is not an open grant call and is only open to these 31 organisations).
Further funding information and links are available on the Coronavirus Third Sector Information Hub funding page.
