The ASFT Fund has been established to support organisations across Scotland, awarding grants of up to £15,000 for one year. To be eligible for this fund, your project must meet at least one of the fund priorities:

Educational and learning projects, particularly those that support disabled children or outdoor education.
Creative and performance arts.
Responding to the effects of poor physical and mental health, and poverty.
Older people.
Increasing participation in sport.

Funder’s Note: It does not strengthen your application to meet as many of the themes and corresponding listed areas of support as possible. Therefore, stay focused and don’t dilute your request by appearing to spread yourself across multiple causes.

This fund is open to:

Registered Charities
Constituted Voluntary and Community Organisations
Community companies: for example, Companies Limited by Guarantee, Community Benefit Societies or Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisations’

All applicants must meet Foundation Scotland’s funding criteria. Before progressing your application, please visit Foundation Scotland‘s website to review the common eligibility criteria in full.
