Impact Funding Partners - Anti-Racism Community Engagement Fund
Created: 12/09/2024
News/Events Category: Funding and FinanceThe Anti-Racism Community Engagement Fund aims to provide community groups and organisations with funds to create focused engagement on the future Anti-Racism Observatory of Scotland (AROS). It is essential that they gather community expertise, not only about how people understand systemic racism in their lives but also to use that knowledge to build how they want this new organisation to work for them.
The intention for the funding is:
- To build a deeper community understanding of the future AROS
- To undertake focused conversations about how the participatory community research undertaken by the Anti-Racism Interim Governance Group (AIGG) in 2023 fed into the developing plan for the new organisation
- To explore, from this baseline, how people think the future AROS could work for them
You can request a grant to cover the following costs:
- Reimbursement for participant expertise/time
- Facilitator
- Transport costs
- Accessibility needs (childcare, translation, etc)
- Venue hire
- Food
- Reporting costs (e.g., illustrators)
- Volunteer/support staff expenses where these are additional in support of the event
Fund award sizes
Maximum: £5,000
Notes on award amounts:
Grants are available under two strands:
- Up to £2,500 under Strand 1 (Additional funding available for accessibility needs if this will exceed the £2,500 limit - to be discussed with Impact Funding Partners prior to submitting an application)
- Up to £5,000 under Strand 2

- Must be a third sector organisation, grassroots or community group
- Must have demonstrated experience working with communities adversely impacted by systemic racism, have the ability to gather community expertise and have capacity to deliver the proposed engagement event
