    Hillcrest Foundation supports projects that help improve the lives of individuals and communities experiencing disadvantage all across Scotland. Their support can be split into three areas:

    1. Reducing isolation
    2. Reducing inequalities
    3. Improving health and wellbeing

    They fund community groups and small charities that are struggling to secure funds through mainstream funders or who have unsuccessfully explored all the statutory sources of funding.

    The Hillcrest Foundation is looking to fund projects that work to improve the lives of people in Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fife, Perth and Kinross, Aberdeen, and Angus. This year’s focus is to support as many people as possible disadvantaged by the cost of living crisis, and your application should clearly demonstrate this.

    They will provide grants towards revenue/unrestricted core costs and project costs/specific activities.

    Applications must demonstrate how they meet at least two of the Foundation's values:

    • Inclusion
    • Respect
    • Excellence
    • Innovation

    Who can apply?

    Community groups and small charities, based within Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fife, Perth and Kinross, Aberdeen, and Angus.

    Maximum annual income: £1,000,000

    How to apply

    Applications are to be submitted on their website using the online form.

    The closing date for applications is 5.00pm on Tuesday 29 July 2025.
