FCRA PROJECT
FCRA PROJECT: SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT FUNDS FOR NGOS
Deadline: 26.11.2014
Scottish
International Development Organisations can now apply for funding through year two
of the Scottish Government's International Development Small Grants Programme.
This will distribute approximately £500,000 in 2015 to support projects that
help some of the world's poorest countries and fit within the Scottish Government's
International Development Policy. Eligible projects must be focused in one of
the Scottish Government's priority countries, contribute to the achievement of
the Millennium Development Goals (and the post-2015 Framework in due course),
and the alleviation of poverty and economic growth in the priority countries. These
are: Malawi, Rwanda, Tanzania, Zambia,
Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Indian States of Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Orissa.
Incorporated not-for- profit organisations which have a presence in Scotland
and an annual turnover of less than £150,000 are eligible to apply. The
Programme is specifically intended to accommodate smaller requests for funding
to contribute to current International Development policy and outcomes and to
overarching Scottish Government outcomes. Therefore, although there are maximum
grant levels in place, it is envisaged that a range of project sizes will be
supported through the Programme. There are three types of grants available:
Project, Feasibility and Capacity Building. Applicants may only apply for one
type of grant in each funding year.
