Grant Directories

Foundation Scotland exists to benefit disadvantaged communities by making grants to support relevant charitable or voluntary organisations, which make a difference to their local communities. Through the Victoria League in Scotland (VLS) Trust the foundation provides grants of up to £5,000 to activities that: focus on and promote the advancement and development of the education, welfare, training and social needs of overseas students, international visitors and individuals or families who are studying in or visiting Scotland; help build positive relationships between different cultural groups, develop shared understanding of ethnic and cultural differences and, in particular, an appreciation of the culture and heritage of Scotland.

The Arts & Culture Impact Fund brings together public, private and charitable funding to provide affordable repayable finance to the UK’s arts, culture and heritage organisations able to demonstrate measurable positive social impact. The funding could be used, among other things, to acquire new assets, improve built infrastructure, develop new ventures or scale up existing revenue streams.
