In every part of Scotland our awards are helping charities to make an impact by giving support and help to those who need it most. The research that we fund is helping to create better futures for children and adults who are facing multiple challenges.
The RS Macdonald Charitable Trust aims to provide £3 million in grants every year to Scottish charities. We believe in the importance of wider networks and support services that involve families, carers and communities and encourage participation for people who are often excluded.
“Our mission is to support our beneficiary charities to achieve their purpose”
