A practical route through the application

Move from rough notes to a draft you can properly review.

Start with the project you actually intend to deliver. ArtsFunded helps organise the information, but it cannot replace eligibility checks, decisions or final human review.

1. Choose the strongest funding route

Use the free finder or read the funder's current guidance. Check location, applicant type, request size, activity, beneficiaries and deadline before drafting.

2. Add real project detail

Bring the activity, people, place, timeline, costs, access, partners, evidence and intended change. Bullet points and fragments are enough to begin.

3. Review before paying

Use the free Project Summary preview to check whether the direction is accurate and useful before unlocking a complete draft.

4. Verify and submit

Check every fact, source, number and commitment. Edit the tone, get partner approval where needed and submit through the official funder portal.
