About this fund

If you are a community group, social enterprise or third-sector organisation and are really worried about your future sustainability or facing very severe challenges, then there are resources available to help.

Community Enterprise, Scottish Community Alliance, Development Trust Association Scotland and CEIS have designed this simple route to the right support quickly.  Many other support providers will be offering assistance who can work together to help you.  A Crisis recovery button has been created, which can be found on the Social Enterprise Support Map. All you need to do is fill in a few simple questions, and someone will get in touch to get you the support you need.

Looking for support with funding?

Identifying funding opportunities and writing grant applications can seem overwhelming, especially when the future sustainability of your group is dependent on gaining funding support. 

Our supportive Funding Officer, Claire Shaw, can help your organisation with every step of the funding application process, from carrying out funding searches to proofreading your application.
