National Lottery Open Fund for Organisations

The National Lottery Open Fund supports creative organisations in Scotland. You can get funding for specific projects, productions, programmes of creative work, or research and development. This is one of Creative Scotland's main funding routes for organisations. The fund has rolling deadlines, so you can apply at any time. The funding amount is not specified and varies by project. You must be an organisation based in Scotland to apply. This covers all types of creative activity in arts, entertainment and recreation.

This fund is for organisations based in Scotland working in arts, entertainment and recreation. You could be a theatre company, arts centre, music group, or creative collective. It is not for individuals or organisations based outside Scotland.

This fund aims to support organisations who seek funding to undertake creative activity such as a specific project or production, a programme of creative work, or a period of research and development. It is one of Creative Scotland's key funding routes supporting the wide range of activity initiated by organisations in Scotland.
