The Culture & Business Fund Scotland (C&BS Fund) is reopening for applications on Wednesday 24^th May 2023.

Managed by Culture & Business Scotland (formerly Arts & Business Scotland), the C&BS Fund provides match funding to culture organisations to enable partnerships and collaborations with businesses, by incentivising sponsorships to bring diverse creative projects to life.

Through ongoing support from Scottish Government, in 2023 the C&BS Fund will provide match funding of up to £14,000 per organisation. The intention is to support as many arts and heritage organisations as possible, from grassroots initiatives to established cultural events.

Other priorities for the C&BS Fund this year will be to support organisations who have implemented Fair Work policies, have introduced carbon neutral plans or policies, and have embedded equality, diversity and inclusion in all aspects of the activities for which they seek funding through the C&BS Fund.

Since launching in 2017, the C&BS Fund has supported over 200 projects across Scotland, with £1.2 million awarded.

Further information, including eligibility criteria and all application deadlines and details, will be available on the dedicated C&BS Fund page (linked for your convenience) from Wednesday 24^th May.
