Taic Freumhan Coimhearsnachd
The 2026-28 round of the scheme is now open until Wednesday 10th December 2025.
Information about awards from 2014/15 onwards can be found via GrantNav.
Taic Freumhan Coimhearsnachd is Bòrd na Gàidhlig’s primary fund for supporting projects to promote and increase the usage and learning of Gaelic at community level in Scotland. The scheme is open both to community-based organisations and individuals.
The fund offers the opportunity to apply for up to 2 years’ worth of funding, in between March 2026 and August 2028, for longer-term projects or those that are recurring annually. The estimated budget for the scheme is £200,000, pending confirmation of Bòrd na Gàidhlig’s 2026/27 budget, and you can apply for up to £5,000 for projects lasting up to 1 year, or up to £10,000 for projects lasting up to 2 years.
Previous rounds of the fund have been competitive, therefore we expect that we will not be able to award funding to all applications that could be considered suitable.
The fund is flexible in supporting most types of projects that seek to bring people together to use Gaelic, but we are particularly looking to support:
- Gaelic events in your community and online
- Projects and opportunities that encourage young people to use Gaelic together outside of school
- Projects that support Gaelic usage among families and between generations
- Adult Gaelic learning in the community
- Colmcille – Building connections between speakers of Gaelic and Irish
In your application we expect you to expand on how your project meets one or more of these aims. You should also be aware of the how your project may contribute to Bòrd na Gàidhlig’s Corporate Plan 2023-28 and the National Gaelic Language Plan 2023-28.
Guidelines for applicants and a link to the online application portal can be found below. If you have any questions about the scheme or how to apply please email tabhartas@gaidhlig.scot.
