Deadline: 20-Aug-21
The Corra Foundation is seeking applications for #ShiftThePower Scotland Comic Relief Fund to support organisations with passionate people to make meaningful change in their communities.
Themes
The fund is now open to grassroots organisations and charities with an income of £400,000 or less whose work fits one of two strategic themes:
- Gender Justice – contributing to gender equality by reducing violence and discrimination based on gender and sexuality alongside increased opportunity, empowerment, and understanding for women, girls, and LGBTQI+ community.
- A Safe Place to Be – supporting people who have experienced homelessness or have been forced from their homes in order to live safely. This includes enabling people who have faced or are facing homelessness to resolve their situation and get support as well as supporting those who have been forced from their homes to build a new life, free from conflict, persecution, or trafficking. Groups to be supported are those affected by homelessness, including refugees and asylum seekers.
Priorities: People with lived experience of the strategic themes are central to this programme. They are particularly interested in organisations where projects and services are initiated and led by people with lived experience, and strong applications are likely to reflect this way of working. They realise that this is not always possible but as a minimum all applications should be
informed by and involve people who are experiencing the issues.
Funding Information
Up to a maximum of £30,000 spread across up to two years. Funding must be fully spent by end of October 2023.
Eligibility Criteria
You can apply if you are a:
- Charity registered in Scotland.
- Constituted voluntary or community organisation with governing documents which clearly state that:
- The organisation is not for profit, or has a clear clause ensuring that all income is applied to the organisation’s purposes and not distributed to members, shareholders or owners.
- There is a dissolution clause/lock in place requiring assets are distributed to an organisation with similar charitable aims in the instance of closure.
