Tackling Poverty in East Lothian Fund
Overview
The East Lothian Foodbank Tackling Poverty Fund aims to support organisations throughout East Lothian with a grant towards the cost of a project which prevents or alleviates poverty in our communities. Applicants must be based in East Lothian or have a demonstrable track record of operating in East Lothian for the benefit of East Lothian residents. This fund was generously donated by ReUse Scotland SCIO.
What Funding is Available?
The Tackling Poverty Fund will provide grants up to £5,000 to registered Scottish charities. Funding for this new grant award is limited and not all projects will be supported. Funding, therefore, is not guaranteed and the quality of the application submitted is an important part of the assessment process.
Who Can Apply
Registered Scottish charities who have been in operation for a minimum of 2 years. Organisations should demonstrate that they recognise the challenges people in their community are facing related to poverty, as well as how their organisation’s work will respond to this and support them or work to prevent future experiences of poverty.
