Arts Council England’s Emergency Funding (update 9th April)
£50 million available, up to £35,000 per application
Round 2 will open Thursday 16th and will close on Thursday 30th April.
Start your application with this offline template (for non-NPO organisations)
Read the full guidance and use the template to support you to develop your proposal prior to entering into Grantium (note: this is a working document – Arts Council will only accept applications via Grantium Portal).
One criteria for eligibility is that “Organisations must have a track record (within the last three years) of publicly funded work in arts and culture”.
This includes grants from us at South West Museum Development.
The central team have been busy this week (thanks Rowan and Abi!) to create a
master list of all the museums in the South West who have received funding from us in the last 3 years.
We can support you to put together an application – our Thematic Officers (Audiences, Collections Care, Digital Engagement, Volunteering, Business and Governance) and local Museum Development Officers – can talk through your ideas and help you form your case for support. It is important that your application sets out your financial need and has considered the other funding measure available to your organisation.
