The Reaching New Scots Fund?
The Reaching New Scots Fund is designed and managed by people from refugee backgrounds in partnership with The National Lottery Community Fund.
The project aims to create a fairer and more accessible approach to funding, making it easier for refugee-led community groups to successfully apply for grants.
With the support of funding officers from The National Lottery Community Fund, our panel of refugee volunteers will award £700,000 in grants to groups and organisations that support New Scots communities.
How much can my group or organisation apply for?
Organisations are invited to apply for grants of up to £30,000 for projects that help people seeking safety feel more at home in Scotland. Your project must do at least one of the following:
