SINCE ITS D-Day launch in 2018 the Scottish Independence Foundation, SIF, has distributed in excess of £100,000 to pro-independence campaigners across the country. The money was raised by donations from similar minded independence supporting individuals who contribute whatever they can on a monthly basis.
The foundation administration and allocation is carried out by a team of five directors headed by retired pharmacist, Willie Wilson. Coming from a wide range of backgrounds the board possesses experience from the NHS, Civil Service, Military, Finance and Farming. None of the directors claim any expenses of any nature and this ensures that every single £1 raised goes directly to successful applicants. There are no overheads, no hidden costs…a group dedicated to giving money away. The board was further strengthened when Alan Davidson, ex Head of Finance for a large number of public sector bodies joined in September 2019
