New grant programme offers up to £5,000 to help community organisations in Scotland take the first steps toward starting a social enterprise. The grant supports early-stage ideas that aim to generate income and reinvest profits to deliver social good.

You should be able to demonstrate a strong business model, clear social impact and have skills, knowledge and passion for the issue you’re tackling.

Any eligible constituted group can apply. Demand is anticipated to be high so applications that demonstrate the strongest potential to generate both income and social impact will be prioritised. 

Open, rolling programme. Community Enterprise Fund – Firstport
