The Arts & Activities Funding Round, for adults, is now open

arts and crafts

Our latest funding opportunity is open from Monday 20 April (9.30am) – Friday 1 May (noon)

Taking part in creative and physical activities is good for health and wellbeing. Our first open funding round last year focused on young people under 25. This time we are offering funding for projects supporting adults aged 25 and over to take part in arts and activities.

For example, we will support organisations improving health and wellbeing through music, singing, theatre, craft, painting, drawing, pottery … or sport, movement, dance, yoga, walking, to name but a few!

So, whether you’re singing to combat dementia or kick-boxing to reduce heart disease, we want to hear from you!

Paul Davies, Operations Manager said,

“We have worked hard to give people plenty of guidance documentation and information to support them as they complete their application. Our team is keen to make the process as pain-free as possible. We know competition for funding is fierce so making this process clear and fair is important to us. Unlike other foundations, this funding round will stay open until the closing date, regardless of volume of applications.”

To qualify you must be:

  • Working with adults (beneficiaries must be over 25)
  • Run by a registered not-for-profit organisation
  • Have an annual income £300,000 – £5,000,000
