Culture & Business Fund Scotland
Summary
The Culture & Business Fund Scotland promotes collaboration between Scottish businesses and arts and heritage organisations to deliver new arts and heritage projects. The fund can provide match-funding of the value of the business sponsorship.
The aims of the fund are to:
- support culture and business organisations to come together to build new cross-sector partnerships or cement existing ones with continued support;
- encourage and support businesses that are not yet involved in sponsoring or investing in cultural activities in Scotland to do so;
- encourage and enable businesses who are already involved in sponsorship or investment to continue this involvement with existing and/or new culture sector partners; and
- attract non-Scottish based organisations in the business sector to sponsor arts and heritage activities in Scotland
