Covid-19 Cancellation Fund For Cultural Organisations

21st January 2022

What does this involve?
This fund supports cultural organisations which have been financially impacted by the cancellation or postponement of cultural activity that was due to take place in the period from 27 November 2021 to 31 March 2022, as a consequence of the measures introduced to manage the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The fund will offer a one-off award to organisations which are able to provide evidence (contracts, correspondence, promotional information) of the arrangement and subsequent cancellation or postponement of activity due to COVID restrictions. This can include the cancellation or postponement of performances, productions, exhibitions and shows from which organisations would have received income.

This fund will not directly replace income lost through the cancellation or postponement of activities, but will provide a contribution to help offset any adverse financial impact.

The Scottish Government has committed up to £25 million to support the fund. Cultural organisations can request between £5,000 and £500,000. The amount you apply for must be based on your organisation's specific financial losses related to cancellation or postponement, which you must evidence and quantify.

Guidance notes are now available to help you prepare to apply. Applications will open at 2pm on 26 January 2022, and close at 2pm on 2 February 2022.
