Digital funding for charities: Scotland

Grants open to charities in Scotland, including National Lottery Awards for All Scotland and The Robertson Trust. Some of these funders only give in Scotland. Others fund across the UK and are listed here because they accept Scottish applicants.

If your project includes a new website or digital service, say what it will let you do for the people you support. That's what Scottish funders tend to score, not the technology itself.

Each fund page says whether it's likely to cover a website, what a typical grant looks like and when to apply. Funds that have closed are hidden here but stay in the full Funding Finder, so you can plan for the next round.

The Long Version

1. Get a quote before you apply

A written quote shows funders you’ve planned properly and budgeted realistically.

2. Fund the outcome, not the object

Write your application around reach, access or service delivery, and let the website be the means.

3. Check eligibility first

Before you draft anything, check the fund’s income band, region and deadline. Most funders offer a quick eligibility checker on their own site.
