About

The Barcapel Foundation is a Scottish charitable trust that has been supporting charitable works and endeavours in Scotland and beyond for over 50 years. The foundation is currently managed by the third and fourth generation of the Wilson family, guided by the philosophies of the original settlors, R Clement Wilson and Andrew C Wilson. The foundation focuses on three priority areas: Health (supporting all areas of medicine and healing with particular interest in complementary and alternative therapies), Heritage (preserving and protecting artistic and cultural heritage, especially the built environment), and Youth (supporting development for young people, especially those from socially disadvantaged backgrounds).

Funding Opportunities

Barcapel Foundation Grant

The Barcapel Foundation provides financial assistance primarily to organisations with Registered Charitable Status in Scotland, though it may occasionally make awards to non-registered organisations and individuals with charitable aims. The foundation has three priority areas of interest for funding: health, heritage, and youth. Grants are awarded predominantly to charities operating in Scotland. The foundation meets regularly to review applications, with grants typically not exceeding £100,000. Applicants must demonstrate that their interests, aims, and objectives are compatible with those of Barcapel Foundation. The foundation does not support individual applications for travel, organisations promoting religious or political beliefs, or feasibility study costs. Local charities whose work takes place outside the British Isles are also unlikely to receive support.
