Key feedback from the culture sector in the major Funding Review, conducted in 2019/20 was that Creative Scotland should create the conditions whereby as many cultural organisations as possible can benefit from sustainable, multi-year funding.
Following a delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Multi-Year Funding (MYF) programme was developed and launched in 2022/23 with the stated aim of delivering the above.
Following a significant uplift in Scottish Government budgets in their budget statement for 2025/26, the conditions have been created whereby Creative Scotland can deliver the principal objective of MYF – more cultural organisations than ever before on sustainable, multi-year funding.
