Making an application

The How to apply booklet explains exactly what you need to do to make an eligible application. You will need to write a proposal about the activity you want us to fund and also fill in the application form.

Application logging team All applications for funding through Grants for the arts should be sent to our application logging team, based in Peter House, Oxford Street Manchester. The application logging team will open and acknowledge all applications, then log them onto our information system ready for assessment by the relevant regional office.

Remember, we cannot accept faxed or emailed application forms, or applications on disk as we require an original signature. Before you send your application, make sure you check it is complete, or ask someone else to check it for you.

If you are disabled (or affected by an impairment such as dyslexia) and require communication support to help you fill in your application, please contact our enquiries team on 0845 300 6200 to find out about how we can help.
