Barcapel Foundation

The Foundation supports charitable work and endeavours in Scotland. The three priority areas of interest for funding are health, heritage, and youth (donations in this area span all aspects of assisting children and young adults, although they are particularly keen to support those from socially and financially disadvantaged backgrounds).

The Barcapel Foundation has been supporting charitable work and endeavours in Scotland for over 40 years.

The three priority areas of interest for funding are:

  1. Health – The foundation supports all aspects of health, a wide ranging remit acknowledging that “health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
  2. Heritage – The foundation supports the built environment and will support our literary and artistic heritage as well as architectural.
  3. Youth – Donations in this area span all aspects of assisting children and young adults, although they are particularly keen to support those from socially and financially disadvantaged backgrounds. The Foundation looks favourably upon any charity, organisation, individual or endeavour that seeks to motivate young people to fulfil their potential, challenge them to be the best that they can and teach them that they are the architects of their own future.

The board meets twice a year, usually in May/June and November.
