The Women’s Fund for Scotland was established in 2002. We play a critical role in supporting the sector by influencing change and raising and distributing funds throughout Scotland. Our funding focuses on women and girl’s needs identified by grassroots organisations that other funders simply cannot reach.
Trusted by our partners who include the Oak Foundation, Baillie Gifford, the Scottish Government and our individual donors so far we have invested £3 million in more than 600 groups and charities.
I like giving the Women’s Fund support because I feel its good value. Relatively small amounts seem to make a big difference to the groups and individuals who benefit, and the funds are well-targeted. It is my pleasure!
