VSGS

The Volunteering Scotland Grant Scheme (VSGS) funded by the Scottish Government plays a key role in implementing the Volunteering Strategy for Scotland through funding the development of high quality volunteering opportunities. 

 

VAF has recently awarded grants to 62 organisations to assist the development of high quality volunteering opportunities and volunteer support.  Twenty three of the awards are for small grants of less than £5,000, while the remaining 39 are for more substantial projects over one, two or three years.

 

The Volunteering Scotland Grant Scheme (VSGS) is a three year rolling funding programme where we work intensively with a number of specific organisations for fixed period of three years in order to develop the organisation and the communities it serves.  The current funding round is through until 2011 and we are currently not accepting any new applications for this funding programme.
