Changes to People’s Postcode Trust funding
Charities and good causes in Scotland will be able to apply for funding of up to £20,000 in the new year from People’s Postcode Trust, a grant giving charity funded by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
People’s Postcode Trust, which previously supported good causes around Britain, will now focus solely on helping organisations in Scotland and funding is available to cover core costs, as well as project-based initiatives. As a commitment to supporting smaller organisations, an income cap has been introduced of £1 million. Priority will be given to groups with an income of less than £500,000.
Applications will open on or around the 1st of each month from 1st February 2021 to 1st October 2021 and will close each month once the maximum number of bids are received. If an organisation misses a funding round, they’ll be encouraged to apply the following month.
