Funding Links



		Links to Funding Sites What follows are links to a variety of funders' websites. A number of the funders, particularly in the "Community Development" section, have quite wide funding interests so, when doing one search, you will doubtless find a source of funding for other projects you may have in mind. General Information Sites Grantsnet Scottish Executive Grants CAfE The CAfÉ site has an excellent searchable funding database which lists funders with interests in sustainable energy. There are currently 35 funders listed who give funds throughout Scotland: http://www.est.co.uk/cafe/funding/index.cfm HI-Arts A very useful directory of funding available for arts projects. http://www.hi-arts.co.uk/services.htm Voluntary Arts Network Another useful site, including a section on funding for arts projects. http://www.voluntaryarts.org/ Scholarship Database at British Council http://www.educationuk.org/scholarships/ GUIDANCE FOR FUNDING APPLICATIONS “The Art of Applications Course” I came across this quotation the other day in Bill Bury’s “The Art of Applications Course” and thought I’d pass it on: ”Put it before them briefly, so that they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light”.Joseph Pullitzer “A Guide to applying to Trusts” This guide is available on the Voluntary Arts Network website. It is written by John Naylor of the Carnegie UK Trust and, while each trust is different, there is plenty of sound advice from someone who knows a thing or two about what trustees are looking for in an application. http://www.voluntaryarts.org/uploaded/map223.pdf Funding for Village Halls http://www.ruralgateway.org.uk/cgi-bin/item.cgi?ap=1&id=386&d=pnd&dateformat=%25o-%25B Community Development Awards for All Carnegie Trust (Also young people) Cattanach Trust (Also young people, disabilities, employment, homelessness, drugs/alcohol, exclusions/discrimination) Comic Relief (Also young people, families, refugees) Dorothy Gertrude Allen Memorial Fund The Execution Charitable Trust (Also relief of poverty/social welfare) John Paul Getty Trust (Also Arts, heritage, environment, homelessness, relief of poverty/social welfare) Paul Hamlyn Foundation (Also arts) Charles Hayward Foundation (also older people) Lankelly Chase Foundation (UK) Macrobert Trust (Also relief of poverty/social welfare, disability, R&D) John Menzies Mrs. Jean Murray's Charitable Trust Robertson Trust The Russell Trust Scottish Centre for Regeneration Scottish Community Foundation (Also women) Skipton Building Society Charitable Foundation Henry Smith Foundation (also older people, younger people, disability) SSJ Awards Tudor Trust Water Industry Hardship Fund Rural Development Scottish Rural Partnership Fund Children/Young People/Families Allen Lane Foundation (Also ethnic minorities, asylum seekers, older people) Camelot Foundation (Also disability, exclusions/discrimination) BBC Children in Need Challenger Children’s Fund (also disability) Hedley Foundation (Also village halls, disability) Nuffield Foundation The Oak Foundation (also women, special needs education, housing, homelessness) Pastoral Care Trust (Also disability, exclusions/discrimination) Scottish Property Industry Festival of Christmas (SPIFOX) Silverhill Trust Yapp Charitable Trust Women Women at Risk DAPHNE Housing Miss Hazel M.
