CBC’s Fundraising Scheme is back for 2024

CBC’s Fundraising Scheme is back!

CBC’s initiative to boost fundraising for arts and culture activities in the region is back for a 3rd year.

If you are looking for some advice and support to develop a creative project, there are two ways to be involved, either:

• Fellow - Would you benefit from some one-to-one support? If so, you could come along to one of our Funding Surgeries and from there we could link you with an arts fundraising Mentor if appropriate. 

• Arts Council Peer Working Group  - Are you thinking of applying to the Arts Council for a  Project Grant (under £30k) for the first time? Do you feel like you need more confidence to apply or have you have been declined in the past? We are creating a small peer group to go through the application process together with expert input from fundraising consultants and an opportunity for one-to-one feedback.

Who is the scheme for?

Any community group, small CIC, charity, festival/event or creative organisation who wants to develop creative or cultural ideas/projects in the Black Country (Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall or Wolverhampton).

We had lots of lovely success and feedback from last year…

“I genuinely don’t think CBC could have helped anymore. They were encouraging and the sessions packed with information, insights and examples”

“It gave me the hope that we could in fact ‘ace’ the ACE application and we did!!”
