Funding for IslamFest was first given ministerial approval in March 2007 under the previous administration. A proposal from the Scottish Islamic Foundation for funding of £200,000 was approved in principle by the First Minister and subsequently agreed by officials after receipt of the detailed proposal in March 2008. Funding for the two smaller grants of £10,152 and £5,600 were processed and actioned by officials.
