The online applications portal is now open for the next funding phase from April 2026 to end of March 2029.
Following a busy pre-application period, the CashBack for Communities fund is now open to applications.
The next phase of funding will provide up to £26 million from April 2026 to end of March 2029. Organisations can apply for between £150,000 and £1,500,000 in CashBack for Communities funding.
Funding will close to applications at 12pm noon on Thursday 7 August.
As a long-standing, multi-year programme, we expect to receive more applications than ever. Representatives from organisations across Scotland attended information sessions during the pre-application period, and accessed detailed Guidance on How to Apply through our website.
If your organisation is interested in applying, we encourage you to start the application process in good time and have your application finalised before 31 July 2025. After this date, the Inspiring Scotland CashBack team cannot support with general enquiries (CBEnquiries@InspiringScotland.org.uk).
