Annual Funding Programme
The Arts Council of Northern Ireland is now inviting organisations to submit their applications to AfP 2017-18. The over-riding aim of AfP is to support Northern Ireland’s arts infrastructure through grants to organisations in all art forms and practices for their core and programming costs. Application deadline: Thursday 15th December at 4pm.
Who can apply?
Organisations receiving support must demonstrate that they require a year-round resource and should apply for their complete programme for the year.
All applications should fit within the objectives stated in the Council’s five year plan and within its artform policies. Both the five year plan Ambitions for the Arts and the artform policies are available on the website www.artscouncil-ni.org and you should read these before completing the application form.
This programme is not designed for organisations planning short term or fixed term projects, or single or one-off annual events.
How to apply?
The programme is divided into 2 distinct elements – core and programming. All applicants must complete both elements of the application and it is anticipated that clients will receive funding from both Exchequer and Lottery sources.
(i) Core costs: These costs will be met from Exchequer funds
(ii) Programming costs: These costs will be met from Lottery funds
If awarded there can be no movement between the core and programming elements.
