Summary

Exploring and discussing the nature, activities, and roles of Scottish grantmakers

Join us for the launch of new research that, for the first time, makes the landscape of Scotland’s grantmaking foundations visible in a systematic way.

At this event, we will:

1) Take a systematic look at who Scotland's grantmaking foundations are

2) Offer an analysis of the wealth they hold and how it is deployed

3) Have an open conversation on what these findings mean for Scotland, for philanthropy, and for the public good.
