Funding

Other sources of income

We want to make our funding go further, and we expect you to make the most of other sources of funding available to you. We expect at least 10% of the total cost of your activity to come from other income sources. This can include:

• income earned from your activity
• funding from public organisations such as local authorities
• grants from trusts and foundations
• a contribution from you or your organisation

For some types of organisation (such as local authorities and other public organisations) applying to Grants for the arts we expect to see a higher level of income coming from other sources.

In special circumstances we can provide a grant for the total cost of your activity. These circumstances could situations where there are few opportunities for raising money from other sources. If you apply to us for the total cost of your activity, your proposal must tell us what your special circumstances are, and what measures you have taken to try to raise money from other sources. Otherwise, your application will not be eligible to be assessed.

We also have an information sheet on other sources of funding, which is included in the How to apply booklet. You can download the How to apply booklet or get it from our enquiries team with the application pack.
