New Small Grants Fund from October 2019
All small grants funding from Tower Hamlets Council will be managed as a single programme from 1 October 2019. The Event Fund along with all other small grants programmes have ceased to exist as separate funds.
Full details of the new programme can be found through this link VCS Grants Programme.
You can find a presentation which gives more detail about the change from the Events Fund to the new programme on the Arts and Events Team web page (http://www.towerhamletsarts.org.uk/?lang=e&s=38).
The main points are:
It is a larger fund – about £180,000 per year – though it will cover a much wider range of activities than the Events fund;
The amount you can apply for is higher – up to £5,000;
Theme based and outcome focused – events could contribute to the outcomes in any of the themes so a lot more opportunities;
Administered externally – the fund will be managed by an external funder to you may get access to a wider range of funds, not just from the Council;
On line process – similar to the current Events Fund process;
Rolling programme – decisions normally made every two months so the possibility of quicker decisions.
October onwards, events (including Black History Month) funded on a rolling programme through the new Small Grants Fund.
Full details of the application process, contacts and deadlines will be announced in due course. Details will be on the Arts and Events Team web page (http://www.towerhamletsarts.org.uk/?lang=e&s=38) and the Tower Hamlets CVS website (https://www.thcvs.org.uk/node/5038).
