The Agnes Hunter Trust SCIO was established in 1954 to support registered charities delivering health and social welfare projects in Scotland. The Trust now focuses on one key area of funding support: offering grants to charities that support disabled people in Scotland.
Service provision will focus on providing opportunities and enabling people to lead fulfilling lives. This may include activities that offer advice, information and support, or life-skills, volunteering and employability training.
Applicant charities may assist with a wide range or specific groups of people, for example those living with mental ill health, cancer, physical and sensory impairments and long-term health conditions, as well as people with learning disabilities, autistic people, and other neurodivergent people.
In addition, the Trust is particularly keen to receive grant applications from the following:
- smaller charities meeting a demonstrable ‘need’ from their local community
- causes that do not have a strong public profile, including new Scottish charities
- charities developing innovative approaches, including pilot projects
Applicants must:
- provide a service that supports disabled people
- be a charity registered with OSCR
- deliver a service in Scotland
- have an annual income of less than £1 million
Applicants should hold reasonable but not excessive free reserves, unless there is a particular reason for holding a higher level. In the case of new charities with limited reserves, applicants can provide evidence of their likely sustainability over the duration of the grant.
Maximum annual income: £1,000,000
How to apply
Apply online via the Trust's website.
