Arts Council National Lottery Project Grants Return

The National Lottery Project Grants programme reopens on 22nd July, and has been prioritised to help fund independent organisations, creative practitioners and freelancers as quickly as possible, in the aftermath of Covid-19.

The National Lottery Project Grants fund was closed briefly due to the Covid-19 crisis, but will be returning on 22nd July 2020 with a budget of £59.8 million, available until April 2021

Arts Council England have made improvements to ensure the fund is more responsive to the needs of smaller independent organisations, creative practitioners and freelancers during Covid-19.
