Money Matters

By Youth Theatre Arts Scotland

So, you’ve got a brilliant idea for a new project – but how do you pay for it?

In this toolkit you’ll find a comprehensive selection of resources to help you track down possible sources of cash, put together a ripper funding application, get your budgeting skills down to a fine art, and reach out to new supporters through crowdfunding.

But, if you find yourself tearing your hair out trying to fill in that baffling application form, don’t despair – Book An Advice Session and we can help you out.

Don’t forget, YTAS Members can also use the sections on Fundraising within our Membership Support Portal by logging in at the top of the page.
