Rangers Charity Foundation SCIO

The Foundation prioritises employability and life skills for disadvantaged youth, particularly those who are care-experienced or ex-offenders. It supports mental health initiatives, education attainment, poverty alleviation, disability inclusion, health projects, and community wellbeing. Work is delivered through direct programmes, partnerships, and in-kind contributions. Geographically, the focus is on Glasgow and the West of Scotland, but the Foundation also extends its reach across Scotland and to select international causes through partnerships. Beneficiaries include children, young people, economically and socially disadvantaged groups, those with ill-health or disabilities, veterans, and homeless individuals.

Eligible organisations are UK-registered charities and community groups of any size or income. The Foundation prioritises work that benefits children, young people, and disadvantaged communities, with a strong preference for projects based in Glasgow and the West of Scotland, though Scotland-wide initiatives are considered. There is no religious restriction. The Foundation welcomes approaches from organisations that align with its seven pillars and focus on creating life-changing opportunities.

The Foundation does not offer open cash grants or core cost funding. Unsolicited cash grant applications are not accepted; instead, cash grants are provided only through collaborative project grants for pre-selected partners. The Foundation also does not fund individuals, as it works exclusively with organisations. In-kind support, such as tickets, merchandise, and experiences, is available separately.

The Foundation provides collaborative project grants for pre-selected partners, working by invitation rather than open application. It also offers in-kind support including tickets, merchandise, and experiences, which can be requested by eligible organisations. Funding is delivered through direct programmes, partnerships, and by leveraging the club's profile and resources. The Foundation emphasises a flexible, rapid-response model and trauma-informed partnerships.
