Since devolution, the funding of the Welsh Language Board has been a matter for the National Assembly for Wales. The following grant in aid payments have been made to the Welsh Language Board since its creation in 1993:
£000 1993-94 129 1994-95 1,797 1995-96 1,953 1996-97 2,000 1997-98 5,692 1998-99 5,762 1999-2000 5,929 2000-01 6,330 2001-02 7,127 2002-03 6,828 2003-04 11,584 2004-05 12,329 2005-06 12,677 2006-07 13,441 2007-08 13,454 2008-09 13,534
The increase in funding in 1997-98 relates to the transfer of funding for a number of organisations from the then Welsh Office to the Board. The 2002-03 rise was due to additional funding to coincide with the publication of the Welsh Assembly Government's "laith Pawb" scheme.
