Details

The fund has been introduced by Dumfries and Galloway Council to make grants of up to £4,000 available to enhance, improve and promote community-led creative and cultural programmes and facilities in Dumfries and Galloway.

The fund provides an ideal opportunity for arts, heritage and community organisations across the region to take forward work that could not otherwise be financed – to elevate your work and programmes.

The Fund will also support arts, creative and heritage organisations to diversify their work and programmes if this directly leads to higher visitor numbers. The Fund will also support projects that clearly contribute to the resilience of museums, galleries and cultural venues across Dumfries and Galloway whilst working towards achieving the aims, objectives and priorities of the Cultural Strategy for Dumfries and Galloway.

Applicant organisations will need to demonstrate that their project can be completely planned, managed and fully delivered by February 28 2026.
