Foundation Scotland Grants
Foundation Scotland administers hundreds of separate funds on behalf of donors, and most of what it lists is a community benefit fund tied to a specific renewable energy development. Eligibility is therefore geographic before it is anything else, so check whether your community is named in the fund itself. Awards are small and most funds accept applications all year.
Foundation Scotland has 143 open funds listed here, none of them with a fixed deadline.
