Funding
Public funding - through government or Arts Council sources - or private funding - from charities, trusts and foundations - is still one of the most popular methods that practitioners think of when they need money, but should only ever be a part of a wider portfolio of income streams to ensure a more robust practice.
The funding section lists both public and private funders as well as companies who are known to provide funding or support for artistic projects.
For an excellent introduction on strategies for finding and approaching funders and planning fundraising activity, see the Funding Central website provided by the National Council of Voluntary Organisations (NCVO).
