- Demonstrates direct evidence of interaction with audiences
They do not fund:
- Staff salaries
- The purchase of equipment, unless it makes up a vital part of the application
- Projects aimed solely at delivering curriculum to school children
Application Process
You can register online and follow the online process.
Important Dates
The next deadline is 18th March.
Funding Range
The maximum award is £2000. This may cover the whole or part cost of the project. Larger projects, which are funded by other sponsors, can also be funded.
