Community Arts Grants Open for Application

The aims of the Community Arts Grants programme are:

• To support grassroots arts initiatives that foster ‘a shared future’ and that promote the inclusion of the new immigrants, asylum-seekers and their families as well as travellers
• To give community and arts organisations the opportunity to develop small scale, new or innovative inclusive projects that will make a difference at local level
• To fund small community arts projects addressing ‘a shared future’ through a range of community arts approaches that will serve as models of good practice and learning
• To encourage communities that experience difficulties with cultural and ethnic diversity to use community arts as a way to take up the challenge of social inclusion

Participants should be highly involved in planning the project and only small scale projects will be considered. This grant is not intended to form a small part of a large project.

How to Apply

Applicants must complete a Community Foundation Small Grants Application form in full. Applicants should state clearly what they propose to do, who will be involved, the cost and how much they need from this Community Arts Fund.

There are no set deadlines and applications will be considered on a rolling basis.
