National Lottery Open Fund for Organisations

About the Open Call

This fund aims to support organisations who seek funding to undertake creative activity such as a specific project or production, a programme of creative work, or a period of research and development. It also supports business and organisational development to enhance sustainability through new income streams. The fund is supported by the National Lottery and intended to maximize public benefit.

What is Offered

Funding between £1,000 and £100,000 for projects or programmes lasting up to 18 months.

Requirements

Any type of constituted artistic, creative or cultural organisation based in Scotland can apply. Commercial activity where the primary purpose is to create a profit is unlikely to be successful.
