IAA Small Grant applications
The Ipswich Arts Association exists to promote the Arts. We endeavour to bring the activities of our member organisations to the attention of the people of Ipswich and the surrounding area. In 2027, we will set aside £2000 for member organisations to support their own activities.
Organisations will be able to bid for up to £500. It is anticipated that the money will be spent in 2027 (though in some cases this may be extended to 2028).
Only one bid will be allowed per member organisation, and the grant could cover the whole or part of the cost of an activity, event or initiative.
The deadline for bids is 30th September 2026 and a sub-committee of trustees (made up of the Chair, Treasurer, Secretary and a trustee who does not have a conflict of interest) will judge the bids. The successful bids will be announced at the IAA’s AGM in November 2026.
Successful bidders will be required:
- to provide details of the organisation’s bank account for payment of the grant,
- to acknowledge the funding source (e.g. using the IAA logo on marketing materials) and
- to complete a simple report when the grant has been spent.
