Robertson Trust

The Robertson Trust was established in 1961 by the Robertson sisters Elspeth, Agnes and Ethel who donated the shares in the businesses, founded and developed by their grandfather and father, to the Trust for charitable purposes. It is an independent Scottish grant-making Trust which exists to provide financial support to charities as defined by the Law of Scotland. In practice, this enables the Trustees to donate to a wide range of charitable objectives where the work takes place in, or has an impact on, Scotland.

What is the funding for?
It aims to fund projects that involve four priority areas which are:

Health, Care, Education & Training, Community Arts and Sports

The Trustees have identified a further 7 categories for support which are: Animal welfare, Civil Society, Communities, Culture, Heritage and Science, Environment, Saving Lives and Young People and Families.

How much money is available?

There are several types of grants: Small Grants: Revenue grants upto £5,000, Capital grants up to £10,000. Main Grants: Revenue grants in excess of £5,000 (rarely more than £15,000), Capital grants between £10,000 and £100,000 to a maximum of 10% of total project costs. There are also Major Capital Donations and Development Donations but applicants must contact the Robertson Trust to discuss their priorities before applying. All information is available on the website link below.

Who can apply?
Any registered Charity based in Scotland.

When to apply
At any time. The Trustees meet every two months usually in May, July, September, November, January and March to discuss applications.

How to apply
The Robertson Trust does not have an application form. They invite application by letter to enable applicants to express themselves in their own words without the restrictions of set questions. However, there are certain details which you will need to include in your application to enable the Trust to make an informed decision on whether or not to fund your organisation. These are detailed in the guidelines.

They are happy to answer telephone and e-mail enquiries and to give pre-application support as appropriate. Contact details:
