The fund exists to support creative freelancers working in Scotland who are experiencing immediate financial hardship due to the loss of income as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The funds offer a one-off monetary contribution to those who are most deeply impacted and disadvantaged by the cancellation of work as a result of the emergency situation. They will trust that those who request these funds are in need of emergency funding at this time.

The funds are offered on a non-competitive basis and require you to submit minimal information to enable us to make awards as quickly as possible. They  will aim to ensure that all eligible recipients will receive money in their account within 6 weeks of submission of your request.
