Creative Scotland Crowdmatch Fund

What it is

Match funding for Scotland-based creatives running a Crowdfunder campaign: Creative Scotland matches donations £1-for-£1 (capped at £250 per donation), up to 50% of your project target and a maximum of £10,000, from a fixed £250,000 pot that closes when allocated.

Verified 2026-08-21 on the funder's own opportunities.creativescotland.com listing: fund open, deadline Wed 30 Sept 2026 23:00, and 'will close when the available budget of £250,000 is reached' — so it can end early. Match: £1-for-£1 capped £250 per donation, up to 50% of project target, max £10,000. Eligible: Scotland-based individual artists/creative practitioners, freelance/self-employed creatives aged 18+, constituted creative/cultural organisations, collectives or creative businesses.
