Projects we're supporting

CLICK ARTS FOUNDATION

The core of what we do is the provision of grants to support grassroots charitable projects which promote wellbeing through accessibility to and inclusivity within the arts across England and Wales, with a specific emphasis on Northampton, Milton Keynes, and the surrounding Midlands region.

We would love to showcase every amazing project we support here as they all make such a difference in their local communities, but we're getting amazing updates so often, that we'd invite you to take a look at our Facebook page or our LinkedIn profile where we will post press releases and photos we have been sent, as well as give our successful applicants a shout out.

Listed on this page is an overview of the type of application we will support.

ASSETS, EQUIPMENT & MATERIALS

Some examples of this are below:

Lights and tech for G-Stars dance so that they could perform their fundraising shows in any venue of their choice.
The Marquee for Silent Disco enabling them to offer their services to organisations without a space to host.
Art materials for creative health workshops across Northamptonshire.
Start up materials for an Albanian Language School.

INITIATIVES BROADENING ACCESSIBILITY TO THE ARTS

Examples of this are as follows:

Community Tents within Arts, Music and Wellbeing festivals.
Theatre in Education providing free performances in County tours aimed at marginalised or deprived communities.
Projects where qualified health practitioners are using the medium of the arts eg creating a film, crafts project, poetry workshops or speaking events to explore and express community stories.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

Trustees make their decisions based on:

Lasting benefit eg impact or infrastructure for the community
Repeated access, and support for marginalised or deprived groups
Removal of barriers within the arts

We do not fund:

Staff salaries/Stand-alone delivery costs
Projects within a host organisation where the organisation could be expected to offer financial support should they want delivery

In some circumstances we may consider becoming a headline sponsor with a grant of £5000 – please email with details of your proposal and the return for sponsorship.
