Applications now open for part of the Catalyst fund as DCMS, Arts Council England (ACE) and the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) have announced further details of the £100 million Catalyst scheme to boost private giving to culture.
The scheme is designed to enable arts and heritage organisations to diversify the way they generate income, increase their fundraising potential and develop new ways to secure private giving.
It includes a £55 million endowment scheme jointly funded by DCMS, ACE and HLF, which was announced by Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt in July and multi-million-pound capacity building schemes funded by ACE and HLF.
Full guidance for applicants to the scheme has now been published and applications opened for heritage awards under the Catalyst: endowments programme. Applications for arts awards are set to open on 1 November.
