Big Lottery Fund in Scotland wants to provide groups with an opportunity to spend time and money developing ideas that have a clear public benefit.
Investing in Ideas awards grants of £500 to £10,000 to test and develop ideas that could eventually become fully-fledged projects or lead to improved service delivery. Investing in Ideas could pay for the things that can turn your basic idea into a well-planned project including; market research, feasibility studies, business planning, training for your committee, exchange visits in the UK to see how other projects work, community consultation, professional advice and technical reports and scheme design studies.
