The Scottish Government - Global Solidarity Fund

Currently closed

The Fund aims to strengthen an informed, engaged and active global citizenship community in Scotland. It supports organisations and communities to work in partnership with counterparts in the Global South to address shared global challenges and contribute to the achievement of the [United Nations Sustainable Development Goals](https://sdgs.un.org/goals).Global Solidarity Fund has a particular focus on strengthening the capacity and impact of smaller organisations and community groups. It is designed to support capacity development by empowering small Scottish‑based civil society organisations (CSOs), social enterprises and local groups that operate on a not‑for‑profit basis. By providing targeted, accessible funding, GSF enables these organisations to develop, build meaningful international partnerships, and engage people across Scotland in global issues.The fund aims to achieve this through three grant types:- Scottish Civil Society Organisation (CSO) Strengthening Grant- Global Citizenship Engagement Grant- Shifting the Power Grant
