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.

The Turtleton Charitable Trust

The Turtleton Charitable Trust was established under a Deed of Trust in 2007 with the particular aim of supporting heritage and the arts, principally in Scotland. The Trustees also consider a limited number of applications each year in aid of charities supporting the disadvantaged and the advancement of education. The Trust makes grants to charities which work in the advancement of the arts, culture and heritage (particularly favoring heritage and the visual arts), and support of the disadvantaged and the advancement of education. The Trustees prefer causes in Scotland and typically make awards of between £5,000 and £25,000, with larger grants or multi-year commitments available only in limited circumstances. The Trust makes grants to charitable bodies only; applications by individuals will not be considered.
