Arts & Regeneration team have been working on a document which lists sources of funding for cultural and community projects. Originally an internal document, we are happy to share our findings with artists and other arts providers. While it does not claim to be exhaustive, it does list over 300 sources of funding. If you would like a copy contact mags.mcleary@leeds.gov.uk 0113 395 0678.
The spreadsheet is also available to download from www.leeds.gov.uk/arts in the Funding for Arts Organisations section, and will be updated quarterly.
