We were established in 1992 as the Scottish Community Foundation before changing our name to Foundation Scotland in 2012. For more than 25 years, we have been working to strengthen communities across the country. All over Scotland, local groups and charities have ideas for how to make their communities happier, fairer, and more sustainable. We enable funders, donors, and philanthropists to support the building blocks of these communities – grassroots groups, charities, anchor organisations and enterprises. We focus on communities of place, and communities of shared interest. We support philanthropists to help their personal giving make the most difference. We work with donors to invest in community action that enables people and places to flourish. We work alongside communities to ensure that local funds are distributed by communities themselves. And we offer social investment opportunities to enable social enterprises, community organisations and charities to grow.
