Exciting news for artists based in Scotland: Creative Scotland is partnering with Crowdfunder UK to help artists, creatives and cultural organisations access £150,000 in match funding through the new Creative Scotland Crowdmatch initiative.
The programme offers up to £10,000 per project to help creative individuals, groups and businesses turn their ideas into reality while enriching Scotland’s cultural landscape.
The project may be of particular interest to artists who use the FringeMakers platform, which provides a low-fee route for all Fringe artists to crowdfund their shows. Established by Crowdfunder and the Fringe Society in 2021, FringeMakers has so far helped Fringe shows collectively raise more than £860,000 in donations since it began, with 141 projects supported in 2025 alone.
Please note: this project is not run by the Fringe Society, however we are keen to promote any funding opportunities open to Fringe artists.
