I’m contacting you to let you know that the Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity has today launched its pilot Community Grants Programme. Applications are now open to Nottinghamshire-shire based organisations to receive up to £500 for a project/event to take place during the February 2024 Festival.
The programme aims to support new partners, diversify the festival’s audiences and increase co-production in the festival programme.
The grants have a particular focus on reaching children & families who are of Black/Black British heritage, children who are disabled and children & families who live in areas that are remote or areas of disadvantage.
The festival has put together what should be a straightforward application process and are more than happy to discuss ideas with organisations interested in applying.
Organisations don’t need to have any experience in science to apply, they’re looking to work with organisations that can help us reach new audiences.
I have attached the Guidance Information (below) about the Grants Programme and the application link can be found via the link here.
Please get in touch if you have any questions and share with other organisations who you think might be interested.
