Essentia Foundation – open for applications
The Essentia Foundation grants programme is open for applications until 30th November through its partner Foundation Scotland. The Essentia Foundation funds both charities and community groups to support people under the age of 25 and is looking for applications that support:
- the participation in mainstream society of individuals with learning disabilities or life limiting health conditions.
- young people who face long-term challenges living in poverty and inequality.
- those who have been excluded from school to access or return to education or training opportunities.
- the provision of skills and training to those furthest from the labour market.
- the improvement of health and welfare of children and young people.
This grant round is for one year project funding up to £3k, but keep an eye out for the next 3 year funding round opening in May 2024.
