The National Lottery Community Fund (Scotland) - Strengthening Organisations

Details

This funding is for organisations in Scotland, that National Lottery Community Fund (TNLCF) currently funds. They want to support organisations to try out new ideas and ways of working. Or to develop their organisation and improve their current work.

To apply for this funding, your organisation must:

  • currently have funding from TNLCF for one or more projects
  • work with people affected by poverty, disadvantage or discrimination
  • involve the people you support in designing how you work.

The work that TNLCF funds must meet one of these outcomes

Organisations TNCLF funds are able to:

  • overcome challenges and plan for the future
  • try out new ideas and ways of working.

You can achieve both outcomes. But you will not improve your chances of getting funding by achieving both outcomes.
