Regularly Funded Organisations
Please note: This funding programme is not open to general applications Closing date: Thursday, 25 November 2010 at 5:30pm
The purpose of the Regularly Funded Organisations programme is to strengthen and make more secure a group of key arts organisations, by contributing to both their operating and artistic programming costs. Funding is allocated on an annual basis and is subject to the resources at the disposal of the Arts Council.
Further information: www.artscouncil.ie/en/view_fund.aspx?fid=834d9ba8-2b7c-4373-85df-661bd928497c Annual Programming Grants
Closing date: Thursday, 2 December 2010 at 5:30pm
The application window for this funding stream is now open.
The purpose of an Annual Programming Grant is to assist applicants with the cost of their artistic programme. The scheme is aimed at organisations that would not generally require financial assistance from the Arts Council to support on-going administrative costs. However, where directly related to their artistic programme of work, applicants may request some support for proportionate administrative costs.
The Annual Programming Grants scheme is offered once-a-year. Organisations may apply for grants on a recurring basis each year. Organisations in receipt of a grant will be required to account for how the funding has been spent. Annual Funding
Closing date: Thursday, 2 December 2010 at 5:30pm
The application window for this funding stream is now open.
This funding programme is quite similar to the Revenue Funding scheme which was offered to organisations for the last time in 2006. Applicants may request a contribution towards both artistic programming costs and on-going administrative costs e.g. staffing/annual salary costs/rent on premises.
Annual Funding is offered once-a-year. Organisations may apply for funding on a recurring basis each year.
Organisations in receipt of funding will be required to account for how the funding has been spent.
Please note: Applications can only be submitted through the Arts Council’s online system. Applicants who have not previously used this system must register in advance of making an application. It is recommended that applicants allow five days for registration prior to making an application.
