The purpose of the annual programming grant is to assist applicants with the costs of their artistic programme. The scheme is not intended to provide support for ongoing operating/administrative costs. Organisations applying for the first time are requested to first discuss their suitability for this funding programme with the relevant Head of Team at the Arts Council.

Applications will only be accepted via the Arts Councils online services website: https://onlineservices.artscouncil.ie/. You will be able to upload a wide range of support materials in electronic format along with your application form. Before you will be able to make an application you must register with the site. It may take up to five working days for your registration to be confirmed so it is very important that you register as early as possible.
