What is the Foundation?

The Scottish Community Foundation is an independent grantmaking charity, matching donors with causes.

Dedicated to creating strong, successful communities the Foundation was formed in 1996 to work with individuals, companies and charitable trusts to support their philanthropic goals. We manage 250 charitable funds, including £6million in endowments, which have helped us to award alomost £18million in grants to Scotland's communities over the last 12 years.

We are now one of the largest independent funders of the voluntary and community sector in the country.
