Revenue and capital funding for registered charities and constituted community groups that help people and communities in Scotland who are living with poverty and trauma.
Important Information
Later this year, Robertson Trust will be making adjustments to the structure of their Funds.
So that they can make the necessary changes to communications, applications, monitoring forms and guidance, they will be closed to new applications from 12 noon on Friday 31st May 2024 and reopening with the new look version in September 2024.
For more information and detail on what this means for applicants, please see the latest blog > Sharpening the focus of Our Funds.
The Robertson Trust’s new strategy for 2020-2030 focuses on tackling poverty and trauma in Scotland and the impact this has on the physical, mental and material wellbeing of individuals, families and communities.
The Trust is focusing its funding on those who are helping communities affected by poverty and trauma with a focus on early intervention, and support capacity, skills and capability in the organisations they fund. It aims to share knowledge and understanding around poverty and trauma, their causes, consequences and potential solutions.
Plans include offering more core and unrestricted funding, longer-term funding of up to five years, removing closing dates and less emphasis on match-funding.
Applications can be made anytime with no set closing date.
