Funding for performing arts organisations

We provide funding for performing arts organisations to improve their training and education facilities. We generally award grants towards the building or refurbishment of these facilities, and occasionally towards the purchase of related specialist equipment. 

Your organisation should:

• be operated by a registered charity or a local authority
• be focussed on professional performance and the performing arts should constitute the vast majority, if not the sole focus, of its activities
• be able to make a case for the significance of its education work within the sector. For applicants that operate a venue, the significance of its artistic programme will also be taken into account. 

Your project should be focussed on improving the quality of training and education facilities and represent a strategic priority for the organisation.

It can also have one or more of the following additional aims:

• Better engagement with audiences  
• Increased numbers of participants  
• Improved future sustainability of the organisation  
• Conservation of architectural heritage
