Jackpot Community Trust helps distribute funding raised through What a Lotto, The Scotto and the Scottish Children’s Lottery to a wide range of worthwhile causes.
The charities we support work in many different areas, from helping children and young people to supporting mental health, tackling poverty, reducing isolation, assisting families in crisis and improving lives within local communities.
Each organisation has its own focus, but they all share the same purpose: to deliver practical, meaningful support where it is needed most. Through every lottery ticket purchased, players help these charities continue their important work.
Jackpot Community Trust welcomes applications from charities and community organisations that deliver positive impact for children, families, vulnerable people and communities. Funding is available to support practical projects, services and initiatives that improve lives, reduce disadvantage and create lasting benefit. This page gives you an overview of who can apply, what we may support and how the application process works.
Funding may be available to registered charities, community groups, voluntary organisations and not-for-profit bodies working in Scotland or across Great Britain, depending on the fund or lottery income stream.
Applicants should be able to show that their work delivers clear public benefit and supports people or communities in need.
