Inspiring Scotland have launched their Autistic Adult Support Fund for 2025.
The fund aims to help adults with an autism diagnosis, self-identified autistic adults and their families and carers understand what neurodivergence means for them and improve their wellbeing.
Successful proposals will meaningfully involve autistic people in the development, design, and delivery of the activity.
They will be strengths-based, making the most of, and build on, the skills and experiences of autistic people and assets within communities.
Additionally, they will complement existing provision by demonstrating a good understanding of what others are doing locally and how to direct people towards other resources. They will be evidence-based, delivering support that is autism-informed and has a credible evidence base.
Funding available
The total minimum award per organisation will be £100,000 over the award period and the total maximum award per organisation will be £500,000.
