About This Funder
Corra Foundation, an independent Scottish grant-maker established in 1985 (originally Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland), drives positive change, opportunity, and fairness in people's lives and communities. Guided by values of listening, learning, and empowering, it centres lived experience and community voice in decision-making, with a 2020 strategic plan emphasising power-shifting, equity, human rights, and social justice. Its trust-based, relational philanthropy fosters long-term partnerships, transparency, and anti-racism across governance, distinguishing it through adaptive learning, participatory budgeting, and leadership in equitable funding practices.
It prioritises racial justice, human rights, tackling disadvantage, and amplifying marginalised voices—especially women-led, Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic-led groups, substance use/mental health initiatives, and place-based development in underserved Scottish areas like Blacklands, Buckhaven, and Fernhill. Key programmes include Henry Duncan Grants (£40,000 over three years, 50% for BAME/women-led), Racial Equity Fund (up to £50,000 over five years), Boost Micro Grants (£500-£3,000), and Local Support Fund. It funds advocacy, capacity building, community-led services, seed funding, core/unrestricted costs, and cross-sector collaborations shaped by those affected.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities or community groups (including unconstituted for micro grants) based in Scotland, with income typically under £500,000 (e.g., £50,000 for micros, £250,000 for thematic). Applications via online forms in programme-specific rounds; deadlines vary (e.g., Racial Equity 29 Oct 2025, Local Support 3 Sep 2025), with quarterly board reviews and 6-12 week decisions. Grants range £500-£100,000, favouring grassroots to medium organisations; no religious restrictions, but excludes non-Scottish or non-aligned work, prioritising relational, participatory projects over transactional ones.
