Boost Fund

The Boost Fund is for small community-led organisations across Scotland supporting local people affected by poverty or disadvantage. Groups can apply if their activities will support their communities and the people who live there. Grants are flexible and groups can apply for many different costs. The work might be about providing practical help, organising activities and gatherings, or addressing another local need. The fund provides grants of £500-£3,000 to constituted groups and charities with an annual income of £50,000 or less. Unconstituted groups can apply for grants of between £250-£1,500. There is £750,000 available to distribute until March 2026, with approximately 250-300 grants anticipated. The fund aims to provide an accessible funding opportunity for small community-led organisations and ensure supportive community-led activities are available.
