Search for funding

In addition to our step by step guide to winning funding, we know that access to up to date, high-quality information on funding opportunities is vital to voluntary sector organisations. That’s why we’ve developed a range of Funding Scotland online funding searches. Available free to any organisation in Scotland, our Funding Scotland search provides a basic search of over 1,200 funding opportunities in Scotland.

If you operate in East Renfrewshire, Fife, Shetland, Stirling, North or South Lanarkshire, or in rural Scotland, advanced searches & weekly bulletins are available through our partnership with the Councils & the Scottish Rural Network.
