The Advisory Council interprets the guidelines in a flexible way, realising that it cannot hope to achieve a true balance across all areas of activity or geographic area. It does, however, examine the context of each application and tries to make grants in areas where the benefit will be most widely felt.
You should meet the following three essential criteria
- Your project or activity is happening in ‘our region’ defined as:
Greater Manchester, Liverpool City Region, Lancashire, Cheshire, High Peak, Westmorland and Furness and Cumberland. - You are a charitable or not-for-profit organisation
- Your project has already secured some committed match funding or can demonstrate credible plans to apply for other grants
We are looking for
- Proposals that are well planned with clear outcomes and involve professional artists or scientists in their development and/or delivery and are made in our region.
- Projects which demonstrate outstanding merit, originality or significance that encourage the production of creative work or public understanding of the arts or sciences and that reflect the lived experience of the people of our region.
- Proposals that support the public presentation or the development of the work of artists or scientists working in our region.
- Projects which leave a legacy of skills, knowledge or experience.
- Activity in locations where involvement in creative and cultural activity is low.
