Bank of Scotland Foundation is an independent charity working with charities across Scotland supporting people and their local communities. We receive an annual donation from Lloyds Banking Group as part of their commitment to Helping Scotland Prosper. We donate these funds to charities across Scotland through Grants Programmes and a Matched Giving Programme for Lloyds Banking Group employees in Scotland. Since November 2010, we have provided over £18m to more than 2,200 charities making positive change across Scotland, enabling over 700,000 people to benefit from a variety of much needed local services and personal support.
