Taic Freumhan Coimhearsnachd is Bòrd na Gàidhlig’s primary fund for supporting community organisations in delivering projects to promote and increase the usage and learning of Gaelic at community level. The fund offers the opportunity to apply for up to 2 years’ worth of funding, for longer-term projects or those that are recurring annually.

This year they are particularly looking to support projects which support:

• Gaelic events in your community and online
• Projects and opportunities that encourage young people to use Gaelic together
• Projects that support Gaelic usage among families and between generations
• Adult Gaelic learning in the community
• Colmcille – Building connections between speakers of Gaelic and Irish

The fund will support projects which will start between 2 March 2026 and 31 December 2026 and will be fully completed by 31 August 2028, and they will only provide funding for this round for up to 2 years within that timeframe.
