ACT BUILDING BLOCKS

The Arts & Culture Trust (ACT) calls for applications for the Building Blocks Programme, sponsored by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

New, emerging or established South African arts, culture or heritage organisations are invited to submit funding enquiries for Special Grants up to a maximum of R200,000 in total, and Once-off Grants ranging from R10,000 to R50,000.

The ACT Building Blocks Programme aims to build the capacity of South African arts, culture and heritage organisations and other community organisations in order to strengthen these economically, culturally and socially.

The programme is aimed at cultural organisations that serve the community at large and is not intended to serve individual artists. The programme focuses on sustainable capacity building for organisations that provide broad access to the arts.

Applicants are required to complete an Application Form by December 31, 2010. Visit www.act.org.za for more information about the programme, to submit an online application or download instructions on how to submit an application manually.
