Creative Match Fund
Creative Match Fund is a fund to help increase investment across North East Lincolnshire in arts, culture and heritage activities and events. Applicants can bid into the Creative Match Fund for up to £5,000 and use this as match funding for revenue bids to heritage and arts funders, such as Arts Council England or National Lottery Heritage Fund.
Grants of between £500 and £5,000 are available, with the maximum grant award being 10% of costs, or £5,000 (whichever is the smaller). In exceptional circumstances, grants of over £5,000 may be offered.
Please send all application forms to our email address: createnortheastlincolnshire@nelincs.gov.uk.
Deadline Date: Creative Match Fund is on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning there is no deadline until the fund is exhausted.

Central to the Creativity Strategy is showcasing our area as a film and TV location.
We will use film to promote our place by documenting activity and utilising existing avenues for showcasing our creativity and heritage.
