From creative spark to outstanding delivery

The C&BS Fund enables culture and business organisations to come together and build effective, sustainable partnerships, bringing creative projects – large and small – vividly to life.

Funded by Scottish Government and managed by Culture & Business Scotland, the C&BS Fund provides critical £ for £ match funding, making the journey from a great idea to a great project possible.

Finding the perfect match

While many culture (arts and heritage) and business sector partners show clear overlaps in interest or ambition, others display less obvious connections… but still deliver outstanding results. In culture and business, as in life, sometimes the most unlikely unions can turn into the greatest partnerships! Find out how to go about building your partnership.

From ‘what if…’ to ‘here’s how…’

Great creative ideas are what we’re looking for, but how will these be brought to life and what benefits will the resulting projects and activities deliver, in and for communities across Scotland? Work with your business sponsor to make sure your application really gets your message – and proposed impact – across.
