Get in touch with the Philanthropy Team

Our preference is to receive a brief summary (one page) of your initiative and an indication of the level of funding you are looking for. If this is of interest, we would then invite a full proposal, and can avoid taking up too much of your time if your charity is not the right fit for us.

If you are confident your charity meets our remit and would like to send a full proposal in, you may do so, but please ensure it is no more than four (A4) pages long, including a budget.

We encourage you to think about the following questions when telling us about your activity:

Are you a charity, headquartered and working in Scotland?

We support international charities through our international philanthropy, with the rest of our support focused on charities working in Scotland.

Why are you requesting a donation?

We are interested in your aims and objectives, and why you need support. Tell us about the difference your project will make. It is also helpful to know if there is a long-term plan and how you plan to fund this in future.

What level of donation are you looking for?

Please be clear in asking what financial support you need. We prefer to fund activity with multiple income sources, and not be the only funder for the project. We are open to requests for staff and core costs.
