Funding for the arts sector in Scotland

Posted on 8 November 2021 by Christie McAlpine in Funding Grants Arts

The William Syson Foundation remains open and would like to encourage organisations and individuals in the Scottish Arts sector to submit grant applications over winter. The Foundation supports core costs as well as projects, and activities such as the visual arts, literature, and the performing arts all fall within its objectives. 

There is no deadline for submissions. Applications are considered by regular grant committees in order of receipt. Decisions for large grants can take up to 4 months, but decisions for small grants are currently being taken more quickly (around 2 months).  

Full details of how to apply can be found at www.williamsysonfoundation.org.uk
