Who is the grant programmes directorate in Scotland?

All Scotland government grant programmes have their own directorate, meaning each grant serves a different purpose and/or is provided by a separate funding agency. When seeking a grant, it is more valuable to note the intended uses and compare them with your needs than to find the directorate. Your search for grant programmes available in Scotland begins with defining your needs and seeing how well they match up to the programmes being looked at. Start by checking the eligibility requirements and details of the grants you are considering to narrow your options.
