Small Grants Fund
The Seachdain na Gàidhlig Small Grants Fund, supported by Bòrd na Gàidhlig and Airbnb, offers grants of up to £500 for individuals, community groups and organisations. The fund supports activity during Seachdain na Gàidhlig 2027 (22nd – 28th February) and the development and delivery of community events that celebrate the Gaelic language. Our theme for 2027 is Dùthchas – the intangible link between people, community, place and heritage – and we are looking for projects and events that have this theme at their core.
