Funding to Increase the Use of Gaelic (Scotland)
Public and local authorities can apply for grants of up to £25,000 to support projects that promote the National Gaelic Language Plan in Scotland.
The funding is made available by Bòrd na Gàidhlig though the Gaelic Plans Fund, which aims to increase the learning and use of Gaelic, and promote a positive image of the language.
Two funding streams are available:
- the Strategic Stream which is open to applications from six identified local authorities (Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, the Highland Council, Argyll and Bute Council, Glasgow City Council, City of Edinburgh Council, and North Lanarkshire Council)
- the Projects Stream which offers all other public bodies the opportunity to apply
The estimated budget allocated to the Projects Stream is £170,000. Grants will support up to 80% of project costs.
Guidance on the Strategic Stream will be published in due course.
The application deadline for the Projects Stream is now closed. The closing date for the Strategic Stream is the 30th May 2024.
