Bank of Scotland Foundation - Energise

Details

To ensure funding can reach those in real need, the Energise grants programme for 2025 will solely focus on helping charities who support vulnerable groups/people.

The Energise programme provides unrestricted funding. Unrestricted funding gives charities much greater scope to cover all essential costs and deal with challenges quickly and effectively. Unrestricted funding can be used towards core costs, delivery costs, project costs and/or general running costs enabling charities to use their funding in the way that helps them best.

Premium information is available exclusively to SCVO members and supporters
