Corra Foundation

We are a grantmaking trust distributing funds to recognised charities throughout Scotland. Our aim is to support and work in partnership with charities operating in Scotland which are clearly focused on improving the quality of life for people who are disadvantaged or at risk of becoming disadvantaged. Awards are made through three different routes: • Henry Duncan Awards focus on local charities working at grassroots level. This programme was put in place in 2010 to mark the 200th anniversary of the establishment of the first ever savings bank by Rev Henry Duncan, which led to the formation of the Foundation. • The Partnership Drugs Initiative targets children and young people in families in which parents misuse drugs or alcohol, pre-teen children who are at higher risk of developing problems with substance misuse and young people who are developing or who have established problems with substance misuse. This programme is a partnership between the Foundation and the Scottish Government. • The Time of Your Life pilot programme is being run in West Lothian to fund innovative preventative work with people aged 50 to 70 years old. In addition, targeted capacity building support is delivered in partnership with Evaluation Support Scotland and Pilotlight.
