For many organisations, it’s not about a single moment of funding. It’s about combining different types of support over time. Wild & Kind is one example, moving from Start It and Build It, to SIS Ambition Cohort, then Boost It, LaunchMe, and an £85,000 Catalyst Fund investment.

For many organisations, it’s not a choice between grants or investment. You can combine different forms of finance, using each for what it’s best suited to. KLAS Care CIC did exactly that, blending a loan from Social Investment Scotland with a grant from Firstport.
