About
Inspiring Scotland is a charity that works alongside charities and funders to strengthen resilience and unlock new opportunities for impact across Scotland's voluntary sector. Since 2008, they have worked towards a Scotland where everyone, no matter where they live or the circumstances they are born into, is given the chance to enjoy a happy, healthy life free from poverty or disadvantage. They harness the power of private, public, and voluntary sectors by providing long-term flexible funding, tailored business development support, and connecting professional volunteers with charities to address deep-rooted social problems through thematic funds and collaborative working.
Funding Opportunities
Autistic Adult Support Fund
The Autistic Adult Support Fund aims to help adults with an autism diagnosis, self-identified autistic adults, and their families and carers understand what neurodivergence means for them and improve their wellbeing. The fund supports organisations across Scotland to deliver a range of projects to meet these aims. Facilitated by Inspiring Scotland and funded by the Scottish Government, the Autistic Adult Support Fund builds on the work of a pilot which ran between 2020 and 2021 to provide post diagnostic support to autistic people. A new phase of funding will run from October 2025 to March 2028, with funding allocated to nine organisations working with autistic adults to support them, their families and carers in understanding neurodivergence and improving their overall wellbeing.
Building Brighter Futures Fund
The Building Brighter Futures Fund (BBFF) aims to support the most disadvantaged young people furthest from the labour market by providing opportunities to gain the skills and confidence to succeed through education, training and employment, throughout Scotland. The BBFF is funded by Hub Community Foundation (HCF) and managed by Inspiring Scotland. The current phase of the Building Brighter Futures Fund runs from June 2022 until 2026 and supports 8 charities. The first phase ran from July 2018 to June 2022 and invested £1.3 million into 10 charities supporting young people, aged 12 to 21, into employment, education or training. In the first six months of the current phase, 469 young people were supported across 5 regional hubs in Scotland.
