The new Doric Board, which aims to promote the culture, language and traditions of North East Scotland, has recently launched its Grants Scheme. The Board will make available grants of up to £1000 (and more in exceptional cases) to anyone who successfully applies and is working in North East Scots – the Doric. Applications must be made by the deadline of 12 December 2019 and successful applicants will receive funding in mid January 2020.

Funds must only be applied for the use of projects as stated in the application form and successful applicants will be required to lodge a report detailing the outcome of their project within six months of receiving the grant.

Applications may be made in either English or North East Scots (Doric) by downloading an application form from the Doric Board website at https://doricboard.com/news/doric-project-grant-scheme-launches/  and should be submitted via email to info@doricboard.com by the closing date of 12 December 2019.
