The Boost Small Grants programme, for local community organisations across Scotland supporting children and families affected by poverty, has been launched for 2024.
The initiative provides grants of £500-£3,000 to constituted groups and charities with an annual income of £50,000 or less. Unconstituted groups, such as Community Councils, can apply for grants of between £250-£1,500.
There is £225,000 available to distribute through approximately 80-120 grants. There is no closing date, but when all funding has been distributed, the programme will close for this year. Approximately 10% of the funding available will be made in grants to unconstituted groups.
This fund aims to:
- Provide an accessible funding opportunity for small community led organisations.
- Ensure supportive community led activities are available to children and families.
Boost 2024 is delivered by Corra Foundation and is a partnership between the STV Children’s Appeal, Comic Relief, and Corra Foundation.
