Funding

Mid Beds Youth And Community Arts does not hold any budget for arts funding. If you or your arts organisation have an idea or project that you would like to fulfil, here are a few ideas as to where to go for some help with funding. Please be aware that most funding bodies do require you to find some of the cost of the project.

1. Mid Beds Grants Scheme (Arts & Cultural Projects - no longer available)
2. Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity (Local Network Fund)
3. Community & Voluntary Services - Mid and North Bedfordshire 
4. Bedfordshire County Council
5. Arts Council England
6. Foundation for Sports and Arts 
7. National Lottery Funding (NLF)
   1. NLF - Awards for All
   2. NLF - Grants for the Arts
   3. Big Lottery

There are also many grant giving bodies and trusts to be found on the internet. They are often art form or agenda specific (e.g. awards just for sculptors or poets, awards just for young people or older people).

If you require any further information or clarification then please do hesitate to contact Hilary Western (Youth and Community Arts Worker) 01462 611244.
