Who are we?

Glasgow Care Foundation have been helping the people of Glasgow for over 140 years. For those who can not receive any assistance from other agencies and have exhausted all options – we can provide basic household goods. We also support key local community projects, families holidays and we put back the magic into Christmas with food vouchers and toys for families.

Apply for an individual/family grant

Applications can only be made by a referral Agency on behalf of people living in poverty in Glasgow. Agencies please register or sign into our online portal.

Apply for a community grant

We support local community groups, charities and organisations with projects, educational grants, transport and other needs. Please complete our online application.
