Arts Council England National Portfolio Investment Programme 2028–33.

Description

Arts Council England National Portfolio Investment Programme 2028–33. ACE has now opened its Applicant Hub for the National Portfolio Investment Programme 2028–33. Arts organisations, museums and libraries can apply for five years of funding, from 1 April 2028 to 31 March 2033, with a minimum request of £50,000 per year. Applications open on 20 October 2026 and close on 15 December 2026, and decisions are due in July 2027. Organisations can apply for work that engages the public directly, supports the wider cultural sector, or both. The process has been simplified from previous rounds and the process will draw on community voices and local experts to inform its decisions. Applicants are advised to read the Applicant Guidance first, attend one of the October webinars, and begin drafting answers using the offline Word application form.
