These projects will help strengthen the capability and resilience of individuals and arts organisations and help to make individuals and organisations more sustainable. 

 

We’re keen to support: 

  • Projects that develop and improve business and management skills, including business planning, fundraising, and marketing (You should evidence the qualifications and appropriateness of consultants if you plan to work with any).

  • Applications that demonstrate a clear rationale, timing, and benefit to the business or individual. 

  • Applications to help business re-modelling to enable organisations to become more resilient and self-sufficient. 

  • Applications from individuals that explore business focussed elements such as web development, exploiting the commercial aspect of their work or developing ecommerce for instance.  

 

We will not support: 

  • Projects that fail to demonstrate a tangible outcome from our investment.  

  • Projects that don’t demonstrate a benefit to the individual or organisation. 

 

How much can I apply for? 

A maximum of £10,000 if your application is focussed solely on training or business development. 

You can also apply to Creative Steps for Business/Individual development if you fit the funds criteria.
