Funders

Scottish Book Trust has pursued its charitable aims for over forty years, building a reputation second to none for the quality of what it delivers. Today, our innovative award winning programmes are admired both at home and abroad for their attention to detail, strong educational and charitable ethos, literary merit, and professional delivery.

This work can only be done with the help and support of our loyal funders and supporters.

Creative Scotland

Scottish Book Trust currently has foundation funding status from Creative Scotland, in recognition of its strategic importance to the literature sector in Scotland.

This forms an important part of Scottish Book Trust's core funding, and is supplemented by sponsorship, project grants and other sources such as venue hire and book sales.

Scottish Government

Partnership with national government has long been a key element of Scottish Book Trust's work. We aim to influence public policy and provide quality information as the basis for campaigning for readers, writers and educational change.  

Scottish Book Trust also receives direct funding from the Scottish Government to fund its high profile Early Years programme.

Edinburgh Council

Scottish Book Trust currently receives grant funding from the City of Edinburgh Council’s Culture and Sport (Corporate Services) Department, towards the cost of children’s programme events in the city. We are also signed up to the Council’s Access to Sport and Culture Pledge to improve the quality of life and life chances for all people in Edinburgh through increased access to cultural activities.
