Participatory Scotland:
Inspiring Scotland wants to work with other funders and/or other organisations to be able to support the participatory arts projects for wellbeing within the community across Scotland.
They also want to find out how to fund participating arts projects most effectively, how to lobby the government to get them to see the importance of this funding area, and to work together to create larger funds that are looking to achieve the same goal as Inspiring Scotland by using potential collaboration.
They want to be able to explore how to manage funded organisations’ capacity so that they can benefit most from the funding whilst also maintaining a healthy funder/fundee relationship.
