National Lottery Awards for All Scotland

  • Project location: Scotland
  • Amount: £300 to £20,000
  • A decision in: 12 weeks
  • Programme status: Open to applications

We fund projects that bring people together and help communities across Scotland thrive. Social connections and community activities are at the heart of healthier, happier lives, that’s why we support community-led projects.

What we can fund

You can use the funding to:

  • start a new activity or continue an existing one
  • help your organisation adapt to new challenges
  • run one-off events

We’re particularly interested in projects that aim to:

  • bring people together to build strong relationships in and across communities
  • improve the places and spaces that matter to communities
  • help more people to reach their potential, by supporting them at the earliest possible stage
  • support people, communities and organisations facing more demands and challenges because of the cost-of-living crisis

For community-led projects, you can apply for between £300 and £20,000 to support work lasting up to 2 years.

For projects that focus on the arts or sports, you can apply for up to £10,000 for work lasting up to 12 months.

We deliver this funding in partnership with sportscotland and Creative Scotland.
