Corra Foundation is a Scotland-focused funder that backs community-led organisations working to improve lives, especially for people facing poverty, disadvantage, and exclusion. A defining feature of its grantmaking is participatory design: several funds are shaped by young people, people with care experience, racialized communities, or lived-experience panels, with an emphasis on unrestricted support and practical local change. It also supports human rights, racial justice, women and girls, and recovery-oriented community work through short-term, targeted funds and partnerships with other intermediaries.
Mostly Scotland-only, time-limited grant programs with a strong participatory or invite-only element; many grants are small to mid-sized, often unrestricted, and some are delivered through partner organisations or panels rather than open rolling applications. Corra appears to fund both standalone community grants and collaborative challenge/recovery programs, with occasional larger multi-year unrestricted awards.

Watch for program-specific windows and eligibility rules: several funds are closed, some are invite-only, and others use community-led or panel-based selection. Applicants should be Scotland-based, clearly rooted in local communities, and able to show how their work addresses poverty, racial justice, human rights, or support for women, young people, or people with lived experience; unrestricted, community-led proposals are especially aligned with Corra’s model.
