Are you an organisation or business that owns, works with or manages heritage based in England?
Is your organisation at imminent risk of failure due to Covid-19?
Would this be your first Culture Recovery Fund grant?
Do you require a grant between £10,000 and £1million?
The aim of this strand of the fund is to help maintain England’s cultural ecology by supporting culturally significant organisations, which are now:
- At imminent risk of failure due to the ongoing impact of Covid-19, and
- Have exhausted all other reasonable options for increasing their resilience
In line with previous rounds of Culture Recovery funding, the central aims of this strand are to enable cultural organisations to:
- Reopen/restart their operations, where appropriate
- or
- Operate on a sustainable, cost-efficient basis, so that they are able to reopen at a later date if, for example, reopening under social distancing is not permissible or does not represent a value for money approach.
Applicants can apply for grants of between £10,000 and £1million to cover core operating costs up to a point where they can demonstrate a return to financial viability. Funding cannot extend beyond 31 December 2021.
The fund is accepting applications from organisations and businesses that own, work with or manage heritage in England who have not been able to access any funding through the previous two rounds of the Culture Recovery Fund.
