About this grant

If you have access needs, there are a few dance artists and professionals who can help you. If you aren’t doing a project of such size to require project grant funding, Developing Your Creative Practice might be an alternative. Ideal for people looking to develop their artistry, skill or project, you can apply for up to £12k. There are rounds of funding and like the project grants, it can be pretty competitive. There is also Arts Council Wales and Arts Council Northern Ireland. [...] Supporting thousands of independent makers and organisations, these project grants are available for wide variety of cultural and arts projects either under £30k or above £30k (there are different applications for each). Arts Council England Project Grants are always open (there aren’t rounds) yet they can be quite complicated to write. It is worth getting some form of assistance if you can to either put the application together or be an extra pair of eyes. [...] If you’re an organisation though, or working with specialised communities, there is other funding available from Creative Scotland. Just not for independent makers… ### Funding for individuals The Dancers’ Hardship Fund South East Creatives Grant Black Artists Grant from Creative Debuts The White Pube Creatives Grant for working-class artists Migrant Artist Fund Access to Work funding for those with access needs The Elephant Trust ### EU funding
