Details

The ASFT Fund has been established to support organisations across Scotland, awarding grants of up to £15,000 for one year.

Your project must meet at least one of the specific fund priorities below (please note it does not strengthen your application to meet as many of the themes and corresponding listed areas of support as possible. Therefore, stay focused and don't dilute your request by appearing to spread yourself across multiple causes):

• Educational and learning projects, particularly those that support disabled children or outdoor education.
• Creative and performance arts.
• Responding to the effects of poor physical and mental health, and poverty.
• Older people.
• Increasing participation in sport.
