Field notes
The directory says it uses the Scottish Charity Register and selects active charities whose latest annual return reports income above £1 million. Its filters include income bands, geographic scope, and whether a charity seeks steady-state or project funding. The page says listings include summaries, latest income, and operating area, and points readers to the charity’s own website or official OSCR record.
