PF Charitable Trust

About this fund

The London based PF Charitable Trust has worked with Foundation Scotland to distribute funds in Scotland since 1997, distributing over £1 million in its name during this time. The PF Charitable Trust's funding policy is to support work at community level and the Foundation provides a valuable service in targeting appropriate groups. 

Purpose of this fund

Projects must meet one of the following priorities: 

• Disability
