Volunteering Scotland Grant Scheme
Volunteering Scotland Grant Scheme
The Voluntary Action Fund (VAF) has confirmed that its flagship volunteering investment fund is once more open for business. The Volunteering Scotland Grant Scheme (VSGS) can provide grant for up to three years for projects that attract harder to reach volunteers. The philosophy behind VSGS is simple: that with dedicated resources, organisations can develop and sustain high quality volunteering opportunities for people who need more support to get involved; and that with this extra resource of volunteers, the organisation can enrich its services.Applications for grant are now invited. Substantial grants for one or two years are available, as well as one-off small grants of £5,000 to smaller organisations.

The closing date for the second round of the main grants (for one and two years) is 30 September 2008. Applications for small grants are considered throughout the year.
