Description

WE'VE GOT THE CASH IF YOU'VE GOT THE IDEAS...

Ideas Fund Innovators is our funding scheme open to all creative disciplines.

If you're aged between 16 and 25 and have a creative project that could do with a cash injection, this is the fund for you. We’re offering 10 projects £1,000 each to help get them off the ground.

In the past we've funded everything from dance and film projects to music videos and photography collectives. Whatever creative field you work in, we'll consider your application.

So here’s the boring bit. You MUST read the Ts&Cs in full before you apply – we get loads of applications we have to make ineligible because people haven’t read the terms. Here are a couple of highlights:

  • You must be aged 16 to 25 on the closing date (21 September 2012) and be resident in the UK. 
  • Your project must take place between October 2012 and June 2013.

 

This brief closes at 5pm on Friday 21 September 2012. We will not consider late applications under any circumstances, including technical difficulties, so allow yourself plenty time to get your application uploaded. If you have technical issues, please visit the help centre. We will contact applicants with the results four to eight weeks after the closing date.

  • Hiya,
    Just to say, that for some reason whenever I upload word documents to the site, I can never download them so my whole portfolio is in PDF format. I forgot to make my application form a PDF just in case, so if you have any problems downloading it, please understand this and let me know, and I'll send over a PDF version.

  • Hi,

    Roshana - The total budget for your project can be more than £1,000. In your application you should clearly indicate which portion of your total budget would be covered by Innovators funding.

    Miriam - Yes, your application has come through fine.

    Nour - Email us at info@ideastap.com and we can help you. Please do get your form in by 5pm today!

    Comfort - I'm afraid we don't support fundraising activities no matter what the eventual outcome.

    Email us at info@ideastap.com and we can help you attached your group.

  • Also I am unable to attach my group to the application as it is not appearing on the list. It's called a state of change.

  • If you wanted to use some of the money to create parts for your funding campaign for the overall training programme which the original creative project idea will lead onto would that be the same as using the fundraising events? As far as I can see it's not for creating a fundraising event, it's part of an ongoing funding campaign/applications for the overall programme. It is a small part of the creative idea and to ensure the creative idea doesn't die and end up producing no beneficial fruit of any kind.
