The Boring Fund will be open for applications in November.

If your small UK charity needs (up to) £200 to cover something boring like insurance or web hosting, take a look.

They welcome donations too.

The Boring Fund - Open Collective

We support small non-profit organisations (UK) by only funding the really boring (but essential) stuff like insurance, accountancy or admin

Looking for info on the existence of archives/fonds of Canadian Scottish Associations or clubs, and other "national" associations (English, Irish). Want to have information on the survival of these types of records, particularly from the 19th and early 20th century. Thank you!
