The Jersey Community Foundation has announced the applications for Arts Fund.
Arts and heritage are important and valued in Jersey and are key to the sense of identity as an Island. Cultural participation is known to bring benefits including learning and education, good health, social inclusion and satisfaction with life.

- Enjoying
- Education and Upskilling
- Enabling
- Development
- Partnerships: Improving partnership and collaboration across the arts and cultural sectors.
Why do you have to clearly set out your project outcomes?
- Project outcomes are really important to us because they want to back projects that make a difference.
- Outcomes are changes, impacts or benefits that happen as a direct result of your project.
- This is so important to us that they have decided that they will only support projects that clearly explain what their outcomes are.
- More specifically, they have decided to exclusively support projects that lead to one of four types of outcome that they think are especially important.
- If you are not clear about the outcomes your project is likely to create, they will not be able to support your work. And if you are clear about your outcomes, but they do not line up with one or more of the four outcomes they have prioritised, they also will not be able to help you.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Foundation is open to any registered charity; voluntary organisation, group or committee; or non-profit organisation.
- However, please bear in mind that access to certain funds is restricted to specific types of organisations, ensure you read the particular guidance under each funding theme to make certain you are eligible to apply.
- The grant must be used to fund services, projects and activities that will benefit the local community. Joint applications are welcome from organisations wishing to work together to better approach a need within the community. Organisations whose sole aim is the promotion of political or religious beliefs will not be supported.
Application Criteria
- Grants must improve the way your organisation operates or delivers its services so that it can better meet the needs of the community or its service users.
- The application should address a proven area of concern or fill a ‘gap’ in community provision.
- Every area of funding has specific criteria that must be met in your application. Please read the specific guidelines relevant to the fund you are applying for to ensure your project meets the unique criteria.
