National Lottery Fund seeking Applications for Culture Recovery Fund Grants

The National Lottery Fund is currently seeking applications for the Culture Recovery Fund Grants. This fund offers financial support for cultural organizations that were financially stable before Covid-19, but are now at imminent risk of failure.
The power of writing proposals is in your hands
The programme is part of the Government’s £1.57 billion package to protect the UK’s culture and heritage sectors from the economic impacts of Covid-19. This fund will support cultural organisations that have been affected by the Covid-19 crisis to stay afloat, providing them with support over a 6-month period to ensure that by 31 March 2021 they can reopen, either fully or partially, or operating on a sustainable, cost-efficient basis until they are able to reopen at a later date.
It is open to arts and cultural organisations, including charitable and non-profit organisations as well as private organisations and commercial for-profit ventures.
