Impact Funding Partners - Anti-Racism Community Engagement Fund
Details
The Anti-Racism Community Engagement Fund aims to provide community groups and organisations with funds, within this short timescale, to create a focused engagement on the future Anti-Racism Observatory of Scotland (AROS). It is essential that we gather community expertise, not only about how people understand systemic racism in their lives but also to use that knowledge to build how they want this new organisation to work for them.
The intention for the funding is:
- To build a deeper community understanding of the future AROS.
- To undertake focused conversations about how the participatory community research undertaken by the Anti-Racism Interim Governance Group (AIGG) in 2023 fed into the developing plan for the new organisation.
- To explore, from this baseline, how people think the future AROS could work for them.
You can request a grant to cover the following costs:
- Reimbursement for participant expertise/time [see criteria]
- Facilitator
- Transport costs
- Accessibility needs (childcare, translation, etc)
- Venue hire
- Food
- Reporting costs (e.g., illustrators)
- Volunteer/support staff expenses where these are additional in support of the event
Premium information is available exclusively to SCVO members and supporters
