Deadline: 8-Sep-21
Applications are now open for the Leeds Inspired LIVE Grant Program, a time-limited grant scheme to help kickstart live performance and to encourage audiences to feel confident to return to district centres and the city centre.
Funding Information
- Applications can be for between £500 to £2,500.
What they fund?
- You can apply for support for live events that take place between October 2021 and January 2022. These may be one-off events or time limited programmes, or the grant may enable you to kick start a series of events that then return to commercial viability or secure further funding from elsewhere.
- The events supported by this scheme may take place in venues or buildings or outdoors in town centres. They may be free to attend or ticketed but need to be able to demonstrate how they support your return making work and the reenergising of the economy of the city.
- The scheme will prioritise support for Leeds based creatives/performers. This is a competitive scheme and is likely to be oversubscribed. Not all eligible projects will be able to be funded.
Eligibility Criteria
Applications are welcome for live arts events. These projects may be organised by:
- Individuals (you will need to demonstrate your previous experience of running similar projects and budgets)
- Arts organisations
- Community or voluntary groups
- Commercial organisations / venues
- Groups of organisations (one will need to take the lead and have the main responsibility for managing the application and any grant)
Ineligible
- Applicants based outside Leeds
- Educational establishments (schools, colleges, universities)
- Closed membership groups whose activities do not reach a wider public
- Leeds City Council.
