Third Sector Resilience Fund

 

The Third Sector Resilience Fund (TSRF) is a £20m emergency fund for charities, community groups, social enterprises and voluntary organisations working in Scotland.

The Fund is delivered by Firstport, Social Investment Scotland and the Corra Foundation and provides grants up to £100,000. In addition there is up to a further £5m available in fully flexible, 0% interest loans starting at £50,000. The fund will be complemented by specialist business advice from Just Enterprise.

Eligibility:

  • a charity, social enterprise or voluntary organisation based in Scotland and/or primarily delivering services/activities in Scottish communities

  • already delivering prior to March 2020

  • and needing funding to stabilise cashflows directly as a result of the impact of COVID-19

The fund prioritises those most at risk and that need immediate help. And is an alternative fund for organisations for whom other UK/Scottish Government Emergency Schemes are not suitable.
