MG ALBA has a small budget for allocation to community based projects for the purposes of ensuring that we play a responsible part in the community in which the majority of our staff are employed or in the Gaelic community generally. Single awards of up to £250 may be made when an application meets the following criteria:

The project promotes corporate social responsibility or good relations in the community where MG ALBA as employer is located or in a Gaelic community, advances the presentation or creative skills of project participants in a manner that offers benefit to the Gaelic creative sector or advances education in matters relating to Gaelic language or culture; and

The project is being undertaken through the medium of Gaelic or its participants commit to using Gaelic as their working language or to promoting Gaelic generally.
