Theatres, grassroots music venues, galleries and arts organisations across the country take great care to house these stories and share them with audiences on both a local and international scale.
The Creative Foundations Fund is an open-access fund that supports creative and cultural organisations in England in revitalizing, restoring, retrofitting, or renewing cultural assets, including urgent work to address issues which prevent organisations from effectively delivering work for the public.
Applicants must demonstrate that the investment in buildings and equipment is business-critical to delivering creative or cultural activity, minimising the risk of asset failure and increasing the economic sustainability of the creative and cultural sectors.
The fund is split into two strands with separate ‘How to apply’ guides:
- How to Apply (Strand 1): for grants of £100,000 up to and including £1 million.
- How to Apply (Strand 2): for grants above £1 million up to and including £10 million.
You can submit one Expression of Interest to either Strand 1 or 2 (not both), except for statutory and other public bodies that run or maintain cultural services, where they are applying for separate projects in different locations.
Subject to the quality of the applications they receive, they expect to support a mix of projects of varying sizes and art forms across the English regions. Grants near the maximum value are likely to be made only by exception.
This is a competitive fund.
