The Scottish Government - Scottish Connections Fund
Summary
The Scottish Connections Fund offers funding to organisations to set up new projects to promote Scotland’s reputation and interests. You must also be able to demonstrate that your project:
- has a clear link to at least one commitment in the Scottish Connections Framework
- bring together or contribute to interests across sectors of activity (live/work, study, visit, do business, culture) - those multiple links will attract additional weighting during the scoring process
- will increase vibrancy, visibility or connectivity between Scottish diaspora communities outside Scotland, or with Scotland itself
- has a credible communications plan that promotes Scotland’s reputation as a place to live, work, visit, study, and do business
- promotes inclusion and diversity, for example working in historically marginalised communities and groups, such as with minority ethnic Scots and LGBTQ communities, or encouraging participation of women and young people
- is co-funded, where possible
