The programme is divided into three main strands based on the requested amount: £30,000 and under, £30,001 to £100,000, and £100,001 and over. It includes time-limited priorities such as Research and Development for individuals, Unlocking Collections for museums, and Universal Library Offers.

What is Offered

Grants ranging from under £30,000 to over £100,001 to support project costs, development, and fair pay for creative practitioners.

Requirements

Applicants must be individuals or organizations based in England. Projects must meet the Arts Council's eligibility criteria and demonstrate a commitment to fair pay and environmental responsibility.

How to Apply

Applicants must create an applicant profile and complete a short eligibility questionnaire via the online portal. Once approved, they can submit a full application. Deadlines vary by strand, with the current £30,000 strand pausing on February 26, 2026.
