Supporting positive change across Scotland.
Helping Scottish communities prosper

As an independent charity, Bank of Scotland Foundation receives an annual donation from Lloyds Banking Group as part of the Group's commitment to Helping Scotland Prosper. Bank of Scotland Foundation donates these funds to charities across Scotland through its Grants Programmes and a Matched Giving Programme for Lloyds Banking Group employees in Scotland.
