What is Scottish Grantmakers?

Scottish Grantmakers is a membership body and registered charity which brings together a significant number of individual grantmaking trusts, foundations and other organisations which operate in Scotland.

The organisation was established in 1993 by a group of 12 grantmakers and now has 59 members over three categories which operate in Scotland.

Representatives of Scottish Grantmaker’s Member organisations meet on a regular basis to discuss issues of common concern and to share best practice in grantmaking at events throughout the year including the annual conference.
