Funding Scotland

Funding Scotland's purpose is to improve the process of identifying
and communicating funding information in Scotland.

They do this by providing the online platform for organisations seeking funding (Fund Seekers), and organisations offering funding (Funders), to work more efficiently.

By shortening the route between Funders and Fund Seekers we
aim to contribute to improved outcomes for the ultimate beneficiaries of support funding.

Funding Scotland operates as a social enterprise. All income generated is reinvested into the operation of the business and the continuous improvement of their services.
