Details

The Scottish Connections Fund offers funding to organisations to set up new projects to promote Scotland’s reputation and interests. You must also be able to demonstrate that your project:

• has a clear link to at least one commitment in the Scottish Connections Framework
• bring together or contribute to interests across sectors of activity (live/work, study, visit, do business, culture) - those multiple links will attract additional weighting during the scoring process
• will increase vibrancy, visibility or connectivity between Scottish diaspora communities outside Scotland, or with Scotland itself
• has a credible communications plan that promotes Scotland’s reputation as a place to live, work, visit, study, and do business
• promotes inclusion and diversity, for example working in historically marginalised communities and groups, such as with minority ethnic Scots and LGBTQ communities, or encouraging participation of women and young people
• is co-funded, where possible
