JCT supports projects overseas and makes grants for charitable purposes in four main areas of funding: population control, the natural environment, education and health. It does not support projects in the UK.

The fund focuses on supporting disadvantaged and vulnerable children in both Scotland and overseas. It provides funds to support educate and care for children and young people. In Scotland each of the Peter Vardy Motor retail businesses has a community champion and supports children's charity partners located close to their operating sites in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Kirkcaldy, Motherwell and Dalgety Bay.

The Volant Trust accepts applications from charities in the UK and internationally that demonstrate a strong focus on alleviating social deprivation and helping vulnerable groups who have been particularly impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Applications for medical equipment and the production or distribution of PPE will also be considered.

The Trust supports local organisations and projects that work with disabled children and their families on a daily basis. They are particularly keen to support: hydrotherapy pools; multi-sensory rooms; mini buses; sibling projects; bereavement support; specialised play equipment / access to play and leisure; family support / parent-led peer support.

SSPCK's purpose is to encourage the promotion of Christian knowledge in Scotland and overseas. The objectives of the Foreign Fund are: the training and education of Christians in Commonwealth countries overseas, aimed to equip them for service in the mission and outreach of the Church; the training of British young people volunteering for periods of service in Christian mission and education overseas; the re-sourcing of new initiatives in worldwide Christian mission.

The fund supports organisations that help to sustain the culture and traditions of Forres and the surrounding area in Moray. It also supports organisations who operate in Aberdeen and the surrounding area whose work focuses in the areas of health and education. It supports national and international organisations focusing on the well-being and education of children.

The Feminist Review Trust gives grants to projects in the UK and internationally that support women. It prioritises applications for: - hard to fund projects that have no other obvious sources of funding - pump priming activities to help start a project in the hope that it will then be able attract sufficient funding to continue - interventionist projects that support feminist values; training and development projects; one off events - dissemination of relevant material - core funding for groups that struggle to raise it elsewhere.

The fund's overall focus is ‘Building connection’. Their work to achieve this aim is focused on two main areas: - Connecting people: Supporting projects to help people reach their potential or which bring people together. Projects may be about overcoming barriers or promoting sustainable development to benefit communities experiencing social isolation or disadvantage. - Connecting planet: Funding projects to enable people to engage with and protect nature, or which support habitat and wildlife restoration. This supports wellbeing, builds community cohesion, and ensures wildlife and ecosystems can thrive for generations to come.

The Trust funds worldwide, with a preference for Scotland. Awards are available to organisations that promote temperance and work to combat drug and alcohol abuse. Grants are available to individuals training for the Reformed ministry and for postgraduate study (PhD) in Theology.

The Trustees' primary focus of support is to recognise charities, working both locally in Scotland and abroad, promoting or involved in humanitarian works, the alleviation of suffering and the furtherance of education. Examples of organisations funded are British Red Cross (Scotland), Erskine Hospital and the Salvation Army. They tend to give to the same charities each year.
