The Boost Fund is a pioneering small grants programme led by STV Children’s Appeal and Corra to support community-led efforts that actively address the challenges faced by children and families impacted by poverty across Scotland.
It supports charities and groups that are providing practical help, organising activities and gatherings, or addressing another local need. This fund aims to:
- Provide an accessible funding opportunity for small community led organisations.
- Ensure supportive community led activities are available to children and families.
In 2024, the Boost Fund opened to constituted groups and unconstituted groups ensuring that people with ideas for positive change are supported to take them into action.
The Boost Fund offers grants of £250 to £3000 to community groups across Scotland. Unconstituted groups can apply for grants of up to £1500 to kick-start their ideas into action.
Boost is designed to work for communities with a short application form, quick turnaround time on decision, and light touch reporting for grant holders.
In 2024, Boost was delivered by Corra Foundation and was a partnership programme between the STV Children’s Appeal, Comic Relief and Corra Foundation.
Further details about when to apply can be found on Corra’s website.
