Find out about our past funding programmes.

Regular funding for organisations

Between 2008 and 2011 we invested £1.3 billion of regular funding in around 880 arts organisations across England. 

Sustain

Sustain is Arts Council England’s response to the impact of the recession on arts organisations whose sustainability is important in delivering our mission of great art for everyone.

Unlimited

Unlimited is a project at the heart of the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad that celebrates disability, arts, culture and sport on an unprecedented scale. Unlimited is being delivered by Arts Council England, London 2012, the UK Arts Councils and the British Council.

Digital opportunities programme

This research was commissioned so that we would be able to build up a picture of arts audiences for digital work and find out where the main opportunities were for organisations to exploit their work digitally. It also gave us a more detailed understanding of the main barriers to organisations working in this way.
