The Autistic Adult Support Fund is now open for applications.
The Fund will provide £500,000 for the 6 month period from October 2023 to the end of March 2024, and aims to help adults with an autism diagnosis, self-identified autistic adults, and their families and carers understand what neurodivergence means for them and improve their wellbeing.
Facilitated by Inspiring Scotland, funded by Scottish Government, the Autistic Adult Support Fund builds on the work of a pilot which ran 2020 – 2023 and funded 7 organisations to provide post diagnostic support to autistic people.
Small grants of between £15,000 and £30,000 are available to support smaller, grassroots, locally based projects. Large grants of between £30,001 and £75,000 are available for national or regional projects.
Funding is available until Sunday 31st March 2024. It is hoped that this fund will run on a recurring annual basis, but is subject to Ministerial approvals as part of Scottish Government’s annual budget process.
The deadline for applications is 12pm on Wednesday 13th September 2023.
