Details

This funding is for organisations in Scotland currently funded by TNLCF. It supports organisations to:

  • try out new ideas and ways of working
  • 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:

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

You can meet both outcomes, but it will not improve your chances of getting funding.
