This is a new fund focused on supporting Black and People of Colour (BPoC) led organisations in Scotland that are working to tackle to the root causes of racism. Communities impacted by racism hold vital knowledge, experience and leadership and their voices must shape and drive efforts to advance racial justice, while recognising that the responsibility for change lies with institutions and systems. At its heart, this fund is about backing the people and groups who are already leading change in their communities and doing so in a way that aims to be more supportive, flexible and longer-term.The Robertson Trust wants to support projects that address a specific systemic racism issue, or create the infrastructure needed to sustain impactful anti-racist movements and build a liberated and equitable future. They are interested in projects that aim for long-term change by addressing root causes, rather than only responding to symptoms. This might include holding decision-makers to account, running public campaigns, building solidarity across groups or movements, media or reporting, or creating a community space that can support organising.You can still apply if you receive other funding from The Robertson Trust.
