What is National Lottery Project Grants?
Project Grants can support individual practitioners, communities and cultural organisations
with projects that focus on:
Combined Arts including festivals and carnivals
Dance
Libraries
Literature
Museums
Music
Theatre
or Visual Arts
When we say ‘project’, we mean a series of activities or a piece of work. Your project will
have a start and an end date, and a set of measurable aims that you’d like to achieve in
that time.
Before you apply to Project Grants you should read our ten year plan called Let’s Create.
Our plan is made up of 3 Outcomes and 4 Investment Principles.
Outcomes are what we want our plan to do.
Investment Principles are what we believe in. We think about our principles before we
give money to people or organisations.
Our 3 Outcomes are:
• We want creative people
• We want cultural communities
• We want a creative and cultural country
Our 4 Investment Principles are:
• We believe in ambition and quality
• We believe in being flexible, we call this dynamism
• We believe in being environmentally friendly
• We believe in being inclusive and relevant
