New grants scheme: Birmingham Cultural Partnership
A special grant funding scheme has been established by the Birmingham Cultural Partnership to support cultural events which bring the residents of Erdington, Hodge Hill, Ladywood or Perry Barr together and which have the best potential for raising cultural participation in these four constituencies.
Approximately 15 project grants will be available ranging from £500 to £5,000 towards local cultural events which contribute to Birmingham's Local Area Agreement target for improving cultural participation.
Details of the aims, objectives and key criteria of the scheme may be found in the Guidance. The scheme will be in two phases and would-be applicants are requested to fill in and submit the pre-application form before the deadline. Proposals that meet the criteria will be asked to fill in a full application form and will be asked to seek a surgery with the Project Manager to discuss their project proposal prior to completing their final application form.
All enquiries should be made by email to simon.bennett@birmingham.gov.uk with "Local Cultural Events" and the name of your organisations in the subject line.
Guidance, a pre-application form and full grant application form with application notes are available at http://tinyurl.com/yckxbjz
