#ShiftThePower Coronavirus Response Fund Reopens
The #ShiftThePower Coronavirus Response Fund which helps grassroots organisations in Scotland to support vulnerable individuals, families, and communities, including coping with the impacts of Coronavirus has reopened.
The Fund, delivered by Corra Foundation, will provide grants of up to £10,000 and is open to charities and voluntary organisations with an income of less than £250,000.
The work to be supported needs to fit with one of the following four strategic themes:
- Children Survive & Thrive: early years development for children facing disadvantage, for work with children aged 0-5 years only.
- Gender Justice: contributing to gender equality by reducing violence and discrimination based on gender and sexuality.
- A Safe Place to Be: supporting people who have experienced homelessness or have been forced from their homes to live safely.
- Mental Health Matters: improving mental health provision and tackling stigma around mental health.
The fund will operate on a rolling basis and will close once all funds have been allocated.
