Creative Black Country’s Fundraising Scheme is back!

Creative Black Country’s initiative to boost fundraising for arts and culture activities in the region is back for a third year.

If you are looking for some advice and support to develop a creative project, there are two ways to be involved, either:

• Fellow – Would you benefit from some one-to-one support? If so, you could come along to one of their Funding Surgeries and from there they could link you with an arts fundraising Mentor if appropriate.
• Arts Council Peer Working Group  – Are you thinking of applying to the Arts Council for a  Project Grant (under £30k) for the first time? Do you feel like you need more confidence to apply or have you have been declined in the past? They are creating a small peer group to go through the application process together with expert input from fundraising consultants and an opportunity for one-to-one feedback.

Who is the scheme for?

Any community group, small CIC, charity, festival/event or creative organisation who wants to develop creative or cultural ideas/projects in the Black Country (Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall or Wolverhampton)
