Guidelines for the OAUK Sector Support Fund back to listing

This is a Benevolent Fund, created in response to the Coronavirus Emergency to support professional individuals and freelancers who work specifically in the Outdoor Arts sector, who have suffered a loss of earnings because of the crisis.
Arts Council England has made £160 million of emergency funding available for organisations and individuals who will need it during this crisis; of that funding, £20 million is dedicated to freelancers and individuals working in the cultural sector.
Looking at the impact the crisis is having on all parts of the cultural workforce, ACE has allocated £4 million to benevolent funds targeted at cultural workers, in partnership with Help Musicians UK, The Equity Charitable Trust, Dance Professionals Fund, The Theatrical Guild, the Royal Literary Fund, a-n (Artists Information Company) & OutdoorArtsUK.
ACE has asked OutdoorArtsUK to manage the distribution of £500,000, to ensure that financial assistance reaches people who work in Outdoor Arts in many different capacities, but who do not qualify for other funding streams.
Applications for the fund can be from £500 to £2,500, with an additional £500 for extra costs relating to a disability. We anticipate being able to support around 200-250 individuals.

Online applications will open on Thu 9 Apr; deadline: Thu 23 Apr. As the fund is managed directly by OAUK, you do not need to register with Grantium, ACE’s application portal.
