Standard conditions for grants

Standard conditions for grants

There are a number of different terms and conditions documents we use. The version that applies to your grant depends on which funding programme your grant was made through, and when your grant was awarded.

A copy of the relevant terms and conditions is attached to your offer letter or funding agreement on Grantium.

If you need a copy of the terms and conditions that apply to your grant, please contact us.

Standard Terms and Conditions for Grants (September 2023 onwards)

The Standard Terms and Conditions for Grants (September 2023 onwards) below apply to grants made through National Lottery Project Grants from 1 September 2023 onwards.

They also apply to grants made through our investment funds, and through Developing your Creative Practice from 1 September 2023 onwards. Grants made through other programmes may be subject to a different set of terms and conditions – a copy of the relevant terms and conditions is attached to your offer letter or funding agreement on Grantium.
