How are projects chosen?

Projects are nominated by delivery partners and assessed against governance, ecological merit, community consent and measurability before going live.

Can I start my own fundraiser?

Yes. Pick a project, set a challenge, and we'll help you launch a public fundraising page on a regulated platform of your choice.

Can my business become a partner?

Yes. Businesses can route a percentage of sales, a per-unit donation or staff fundraising activity to a project. Get in touch at partners@brink.scot.

Do you operate outside Scotland?

Not yet. We are starting in Scotland because the restoration opportunity here is internationally significant and culturally distinctive.

How do I know the impact is real?

Every project publishes regular updates with measurable outcomes — hectares restored, trees planted, species recorded. See the Impact page for live totals.
