This report, jointly written by the CSJ and CSJ Foundation, builds on the recently published report ‘Supercharging Philanthropy’, offering a Scottish perspective.

It presents 31 strategic recommendations across three key areas: Government Action, the Role of OSCR, and the Responsibilities of Scottish Givers. These recommendations aim to establish a bold vision for the Scottish Government and philanthropy.

Scottish society is at a pivotal juncture, facing escalating demands alongside diminishing resources. Philanthropy plays a vital role in addressing these challenges by supporting social initiatives and strengthening communities across Scotland. To maximise its impact, both the Scottish Government and philanthropists must adopt a proactive approach in fostering a culture of giving and unlocking resources.

We hope this paper sparks a meaningful discussion and helps to supercharge philanthropy across Scotland.
