This grants programme is intended to help the Arts Council deliver its 2020-2030 strategy, 'Let's Create'. It also provides a means to support a broad range of not-for-profit projects that create and sustain quality work and help people across England to engage with arts and culture.
The programme supports development by allowing artists, cultural practitioners and organisations to work in new ways and to get their work out to new audiences.
The funding can support projects lasting up to a maximum of three years.
Match funding of at least 10% is required.
Grants of up to £500 are available for volunteering or community service projects that are run by young people aged 30 and younger to help them put their ideas into action and run projects that benefit others.
As part of its new grant-making Strategy 2022-25, BBC Children in Need has launched a grants stream for core costs.
BBC Children in Need is offering funding for defined projects with a focus on children and young people.
