  • How we fund the arts
    Grants for the arts
    We fund arts activities that benefit people in England, or that help artists and arts organisations. If you have an idea for something you want to do with the arts, find out more about Grants for the arts, our main open application funding programme.

    Regular funding for organisations
    We regularly fund over 1,100 arts organisations on a three-year basis, investing around £400 million in these organisations in 2006/07. Our support helps bring high quality work to a wide range of people - as both audience and participants.

    Cultural leadership programme
    We launched this two-year programme in May 2006 to promote excellence in management and leadership.

    Own Art
    This interest-free loan scheme is designed to make it easy and affordable for people to buy contemporary works of art.

    Managed funds
    Managed funds allow us to identify new opportunities for the arts, take new initiatives, establish new partnerships and address particular ambitions for growth. These funds are not normally open to application.

    Urban cultural programme
    The Urban cultural programme provided lottery funding for cultural projects in urban areas across the UK, between 2004 and 2006.
