For 2024-25, culture organisations (arts and heritage) can apply to the C&BS Fund for up to £1 for every £2 invested by the business organisations. The minimum investment request is £1,000, so the minimum business sponsorship must be £2,000. It is possible to apply up to two times, provided the total C&BS Fund investment does not exceed £10,000.
Our investments are made to enable the culture organisation to give the business organisation additional sponsorship rights or benefits relating to a separate project or aspect of their work which provides public benefit, helping to enhance the impact and reach of the partnership.
There are now three stages to applying. However, this new process has been developed to streamline everything, and ensure that your and our time is put to best use.
We will aim to respond to your Expression of Interest within five working days. If invited to apply, we will aim to respond to your Application within four weeks of submission.
