Crowdfunding Creativity – What is it?
Run by Creative Scotland in partnership with Paved With Gold, Crowdfunding Creativity is a pilot mentoring and match-funding scheme for those looking to embark on a crowdfunding campaign. It aims to provide people who are working in the creative industries in Scotland with the skills and knowledge to develop their own successful crowdfunding campaigns. Over the course of the programme those selected to take part will learn not only how to develop their crowdfunding campaign but also gain key skills to help them support their creative practice.
Who can apply?
This opportunity is open to creative individuals and businesses based in Scotland and working in the arts, screen and creative industries and who are looking to embark on a crowdfunding campaign. We are looking for applicants with limited or no previous experience of crowdfunding.
What will it support?
We are looking to select up to seven projects for the pilot, allowing us to focus on making each one a success. Successful applicants will benefit from a programme of support including workshops and one-to-one sessions that complement key milestones through their project.
In addition, those selected for the programme will be able to access 25% match-funding from Creative Scotland for their crowdfunding campaign
