Creative Scotland Crowdmatch

Following the success of the initiative last year, Crowdfunder and Creative Scotland are back with a new pot of £75,000 to award to 20 creative projects across Scotland.

Creative individuals, groups or businesses were encouraged to let us know their creative ideas in order to take part in a competition to win a share of £75,000 in match funding (up to £10,000 per project) from Creative Scotland towards their crowdfunding campaign.

Projects will start crowdfunding from the 22 March, check back then to support your favourite.
