Community Spaces Grants

Funding to support local communities experiencing poverty and associated trauma in Scotland. Registered charities with an annual income of between £30,000 and £500,000 are eligible to apply.

As we continue to experience high demand for our funding, we have taken the decision to continue operating with our extended timescale for decisions of 10-12 weeks. This will help us manage demand and streamline our decision-making processes across all of our Funds. 

To apply, you'll need:

  • At least three unconnected Trustees on your charity’s Board.
  • Recent independently examined or audited annual accounts (unless you are a newly registered charity).
  • A bank account in the name of your charity, with two unconnected people required to make every withdrawal or payment.
  • A safeguarding policy if working with young or vulnerable people.
  • A full job description if your request is for funding towards a specific salary cost.
