# Major upgrade to Funding Scotland

We have recently launched a major upgrade to our Funding Scotland service. Funding Scotland gives access to up to date, high-quality information on funding opportunities for voluntary organisations. It is free to any organisation in Scotland and lets you search over 1,000 funding opportunities including trust funding, lottery, statutory funds and more.

SCVO membership now gives access to exclusive additional features through Funding Scotland Premium - this allows you to see more information on funds, set up email alerts to keep up to date with new funds and deadlines, and save your searches to speed up searching. [Find out more about SCVO membership](/membership).

Funding Scotland Premium is delivered through the new My SCVO service, which is a single-sign-on service allowing access to member benefits and more. My SCVO is not only for SCVO members, but in the context of Funding Scotland allows access to additional features once your account is linked to a verified member organisation. [Find out more about My SCVO](https://my.scvo.scot).

The design of Funding Scotland has been refreshed to align with the new core SCVO brand, we intend for this to be easier to use - lighter and more evenly spaced, with an accessible font and high contrast colours.

Visit **[Funding Scotland](https://funding.scot)** to see the updated design and new features. We welcome any feedback on the service - get in touch at [https://funding.scot/contact](https://funding.scot/contact)

## About SCVO

SCVO (Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations) is the national membership organisation for Scotland's voluntary sector.

Our role is to champion the role of voluntary organisations in Scotland and to support them to do work that has a positive impact.

SCVO supports members and the wider voluntary sector with all aspects of setting up and running a voluntary organisation. SCVO represents the needs and concerns of the voluntary sector to the Scottish government in Holyrood and UK government and Westminster. Through our learning and events programme SCVO offers training and development opportunities to the sector.

Members access an extensive membership benefits package including specialist, in-depth, 1-to-1 guidance from our Information Services team and from professional service partners.

Access to exclusive membership networks (including comms, employers, governance and policy) supports members to grow their connections, stay up to date, exchange ideas and views with peers, and learn through tailored learning opportunities.

SCVO members enjoy free access to Funding Scotland Premium to stay on top of funding opportunities to support their organisation’s financial resilience.

Discounts and savings on SCVO products and services (including our HR service, managed IT support, payroll service and events and training) and partner offers provide members with support to allow them to focus on delivering their organisation’s goals. Further SCVO products and services include [extensive digital support](https://scvo.scot/support/digital), a climate action resource [Growing Climate Confidence](https://climateconfident.scot), a voluntary sector publication [Third Force News](https://tfn.scot) and a voluntary sector jobs and recruitment service [Goodmoves](https://goodmoves.org).
