Voluntary Action Fund
Voluntary Action Fund is Scotland's leading independent grant-making body investing in voluntary and community based organisations throughout Scotland. The funding and support VAF provides enables community based organisations to undertake projects that challenge inequalities and overcome barriers to being involved in community life.
The Voluntary Action Fund's grant programmes meet the needs of disadvantaged communities through encouraging volunteering and tackling discrimination. VAF currently manages three grant programmes, which are all funded through the Scottish Government.
They include:
The Volunteering Scotland Grant Scheme (VSGS)
The Community Chest (CCP)
The Equality Grants Programme (EGP)
