The London Community Foundation is seeking applications for its Cockayne Grants Program for organizations in london.
Grants are focused on arts projects in London that provide creative opportunities to artists from diverse cultures in the performing (music, opera, dance, theatre), literary or visual arts.
Priorities
Current priorities are:
- New work or ground-breaking re-interpretations of classic repertoire that demonstrate the potential: for artistic excellence, to reach large and diverse audiences, and/or to make a significant, new contribution to the art form.
- Art that is experimental, risk-taking, and/or engages controversial issues.
- Projects that involve young artists.
- Arts-related library, literacy and archiving projects.
Please note: Arts projects that are primarily focused on social/political advocacy, community arts and arts-education programmes are not a funding priority of Cockayne – Grants for the Arts. They do not fund digital arts projects or films, including the filming of productions.
Funding Information
- Average grants range from £1,000 to £25,000, with a few exceptional projects being considered at a higher level.
- Applicants should not apply for more than 20% of their overall project budget and must demonstrate clearly how additional funds for the project are to be raised.
- Capital campaigns are also considered when improvement of the home of an arts organisation is its highest priority. Capital-campaign grants tend to be considered in the same range as programme grants.
- Multi-year grant applications are not encouraged and are considered only very occasionally.
Geographic Priority
- Cockayne – Grants for the Arts is open to UK arts organisations delivering proposed work in London.
