The fund also prioritises applications for work being delivered in areas where it has previously not provided much support, such as South America, Australasia, and East and Southeast Asia.

As well as the standard Foundation Scotland eligibility criteria, applicants must be registered charities (i.e. registered with OSCR or the Charities Commission in the UK, or an equivalent overseas).
