Grant enquiries

We welcome enquiries from organisations whose work aligns with our priorities.

What we fund

  • Health, wellbeing, and quality of life
  • Serious illness and long-term conditions
  • Education and opportunity in underserved communities
  • Wildlife, conservation, and environmental protection
  • Community support where funding can be catalytic
Geography: Scotland and the wider UK, and internationally where we can support meaningful, responsible work.

We aim to respond as soon as possible. During busy periods, replies may take a little longer.

What we don’t usually fund

To help set expectations, we don’t typically support:

  • Individuals (personal appeals) — unless via an established charity programme
  • Political organisations or party-political activity
  • Activities that conflict with our core values
  • Requests without clear outcomes and governance

If you’re unsure, we still encourage a short enquiry — we’re happy to advise if we can.
