Strengthening Organisations

  • Project location: Scotland
  • Amount: £300 to £50,000
  • A decision in: 12 weeks
  • Programme status: Open to applications

This funding is for organisations in Scotland that we currently fund. It supports organisations to:

  • try out new ideas and ways of working
  • develop their organisation and improve their current work

We offer £300 to £50,000 for up to 2 years. We fund organisations of any size.

Who can apply

To apply, your organisation must:

  • currently have funding from us for one or more projects
  • work with people affected by poverty, disadvantage or discrimination
  • involve the people you support in designing how you work

To help us decide which applications to fund, we’ll look at what your organisation does and how it works, as well as what you’ll do with this funding.

What we’ll fund

The organisations we fund must meet at least one of these outcomes:

  • overcome challenges and plan for the future
  • try out new ideas and ways of working

You can meet both outcomes, but it will not improve your chances of getting funding.

What we’ll not fund

We do not fund the staffing or delivery of existing services, or the expansion of these services to new locations.

See 'What we are hoping' to fund for more details.
