About This Funder
Bòrd na Gàidhlig, established by the Scottish Parliament under the 2005 Gaelic Language (Scotland) Act as an executive non-departmental public body, leads the development, promotion, and protection of the Gaelic language across Scotland. Its mission is to revitalise Gaelic as a living community language with equal respect to English, increasing its use, learning opportunities at all ages, and positive visibility in Scottish life. Guided by values of inclusivity, respect, partnership, and long-term sustainability, it aligns with the National Gaelic Language Plan 2023-2028, acting as a catalyst through policy, advocacy, funding, and strategic collaboration with stakeholders.
It prioritises projects boosting Gaelic among children, youth, families, and communities via education (especially Gaelic Medium Education), adult learning, intergenerational transmission, community events, arts, culture, and links with Irish Gaelic. Key programmes include Taic Freumhan Coimhearsnachd for community activities, Gaelic Officers Scheme for salary support, Early Years Grants, and Seachdain na Gàidhlig small grants, funding grassroots groups to national organisations with demonstrable language impact.
Eligible applicants are Scotland-based UK-registered charities, CICs, community groups, and academic institutions, focusing on Gaelic-significant areas like the Highlands, Western Isles, and Argyll; no income thresholds apply, favouring all sizes with robust governance. Typical grants range £500–£50,000 (e.g., £1,000–£5,000 common for locals, up to £40,000/year for officers). Unsolicited applications via Fluxx portal or forms, with annual rounds—next deadline 10 December 2025 for Taic Freumhan Coimhearsnachd. Excludes non-Gaelic-linked activities or capital projects; uniquely distinguished by its statutory mandate as Scotland's authoritative Gaelic champion.
