Boost Fund launches!

Corra Foundation is delighted to announce the launch of the Boost Fund, a pioneering initiative to support community-led activity throughout Scotland. Funding is available for community-led efforts that actively address the challenges faced by children and families impacted by poverty across the nation. This year, the Boost Fund opens to constituted groups and un-constituted groups ensuring that people with ideas for positive change are supported to take them into action. Generously supported by STV Children’s Appeal, Corra Foundation, and Comic Relief, the Boost Fund represents a collaborative effort to shift power to communities creating positive change.

The Boost Fund offers grants of £250 to £3000 to community groups across Scotland. Un-constituted groups can also apply for grants of up to £1500 to kick-start their ideas into action.

At Corra, we know that small grants support community groups to turn an idea into action. Boost is designed to work for communities with a short application form, quick turnaround time on decision, and light touch reporting for grant holders. Don’t just take it from us though, hear what previous grant holders say about the fund and the application process. A special thanks to Urban Community Project, Berwickshire Swap, Fenwick Foxe, and St Teresa’s Youth Club for sharing their thoughts on the Boost fund in the videos. We’ll update this page with more videos from grant holders throughout April and May 2024.
