Yes, you can apply for support for the same project from both Creative Scotland and another National Lottery Distributor. You must ensure that you meet the specific criteria of each fund you are applying to and ensure that you address the correct criteria in each application.

You cannot apply to multiple funds run by Creative Scotland or run by others on behalf of Creative Scotland for the same project.

Creative Scotland is one of four National Lottery distributors in Scotland, and one of twelve National Lottery distributors in the UK. The other Scottish distributors are SportScotland, The National Lottery Community Fund and The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

For example, you could apply to both The Open Fund for Individuals and the National Lottery Community Fund for the same project – or to support different elements within a project. But you could not apply to both The Open Fund for Individuals and The Touring Fund for the same project as they are both run by Creative Scotland.
