International development small grants programme opens for Scottish charities

Howard Lake | 28 June 2014 | News

Applications for the second round of funding from the Scottish Government’s International Development Small Grants Programme are now open to Scottish international development organisations.
The fund, administered by Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland, will distribute about £500,000 to support projects that help some of the world’s poorest countries and fit within the Scottish Government’s International Development Policy. The first year of the programme made 11 grants totalling £431,279.
There is an option to extend the programme for a third year, involving a similar sum of £500,000, but that has not yet been confirmed.
Mary Craig OBE, Chief Executive of Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland, said:

“This programme is a great opportunity for smaller International Development Organisations to access funding. This money can fund organisations to look at ways of developing new initiatives, support the delivery of specific projects overseas, or to build the overall capacity of Scottish international development organisations and their partners.”
