Our funding

We are a charitable organisation and a Creative Scotland regulatory-funded organisation. We are grateful for the core funding we receive from Creative Scotland and from Inverclyde Council.  We are currently in receipt of a generous grant from the Foyle Foundation and the Garfield Weston Fund. Further support has come from the William Syson Foundation, McGlashan Charitable Trust and the Innerkip Society. Youth Music Initiative is currently funding a large-scale project to ensure music is accessible to young people who are neurodiverse and those with disabilities. We pleased to receive funding from Culture Collective to enable the delivery of our Creative Minds Festival and artist development opportunities within Inverclyde.

In recent years we have been supported by the Garfield Weston Foundation (Weston Culture Fund), the Performing Arts Venues Relief Fund (Rounds 1 and 2). We managed the Creative Carbon Climate Beacon Fund for Inverclyde Partners projects around COP26.

Previous funders have been Postcode Lottery, Scotland Youth Arts Access Fund (for Creatability), The Bridge Awards (for BYT bursary places) and YTAS (for our Allies in Residence project).

Our Inverclyde Woman Create project continuation was made possible by a generous legacy donation.
