What’s new at the Arts Impact Fund?

It has been a busy few months for the Arts Impact Fund team and we are now pleased to confirm that we will be holding a further investment decision-making session with our committee at the end of September.

Ahead of the meeting, we would love to hear from arts and culture organisations interested in taking on social investment to fund new or ongoing projects.

Whether you are looking for cashflow support, finance to acquire a new asset or invest in your organisational development to become more resilient, or are planning a new venture that you hope will generate revenue for your organisation, we want to hear from you. 

We are accepting enquiries and applications throughout July in preparation for our September investment meeting.

You can apply via our website by following the link to our apply page. Alternatively, send us an email at [email protected] or give us a call on 020 7438 1218.

In other news ...

Since our last investee announcement in November, we have had three further investment rounds, have completed several new deals, and have travelled across England meeting many arts, culture and heritage organisations through the Resilience not Reliance event series. 

After our most recent investment committee meeting at the end of May, we are also happy to let you know that we will soon be announcing our third cohort of investees.

Keep an eye on our blog to find out about the organisations we have supported so far this year and the wonderful work they are doing with individuals and communities throughout England.
