Community Response, Recovery & Resilience Fund (RRR)

This RRR Fund will support local charities and grassroots organisations across Scotland to help them respond to the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic and recover from its impact.

In partnership with the National Emergencies Trust (NET), Foundation Scotland is delivering the Community Response, Recovery and Resilience Fund. Foundation Scotland is the lead partner for NET in Scotland. 

Most immediately, Response is about providing emergency funding for local charities and grassroots organisations who are currently supporting some of Scotland’s most affected and vulnerable people.

In the medium and longer term, Recovery and Resilience will be about funding a wider group of local charities and community organisations whose operations and finances have been affected so they can recover, re-establish or re-design their activities once the outbreak eases in response to community needs at that point.  

The scheme is providing immediate funding to support constituted community groups and charities that are responding to the Coronavirus pandemic in their local community. Funding is available between £1,000 and £5,000– focused on immediate community needs. The aim is to turn around funding applications swiftly, and to keep the application process straightforward.

Only constituted groups, with a governing document, can apply
