CLICK Arts Foundation offers small grants for community arts projects that build confidence, develop skills, encourage inclusion and support wellbeing in safe, accessible settings.
Who can apply:
- UK registered charities and qualifying national organisations, such as universities, where statutory provision is absent or inadequate. Projects must be exclusively charitable.
- The policy accepts UK applications, with an initial focus on Northampton, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire and the surrounding Midlands. Charities need a written constitution, charitable aims and at least two trustees.
- Although the webpage says any group meeting its criteria may apply, the grant policy sets the narrower eligibility above. Other groups should confirm eligibility with the Foundation.
What you can get:
- Up to £2,000 for assets, equipment, materials or projects widening access to the arts. Facilitator fees are considered only when integral to widening access, rather than the main funding focus.
- Priority is given to grassroots work where this amount can deliver direct, meaningful local benefit. Larger projects need a clearly defined, self-contained element within the funding limit.
Key notes:
- Explain the outcomes you expect and how you will assess them, including confidence, learning, empowerment, inclusion or wellbeing.
- Grants are awarded in December. The project must normally take place within six months of receiving the grant, and an impact report is due within one month of completion.
- Previous recipients must apply at least six months after their last CLICK-funded event. Personal bank accounts cannot receive grants.
- Email the completed application form and required supporting documents to info@clickartsfoundation.org.uk. Safeguarding, health and safety, insurance and governance information are required.
Deadline:
Saturday 31 October 2026 for the December awards cycle. No closing time is stated.
