Grant-in-Aid funding refers to money provided by the UK government to public organisations, museums, galleries, and cultural institutions and venues. This funding is allocated by the government to support the core operations of these organisations. Grant-in-Aid is different from project-based funding or commercial income because it is unrestricted, meaning organisations can spend it on their general activities and running costs.
The data below refers to organisations that receive Grant-in-Aid funding. None of these DCMS-funded organisations are specifically based in Newcastle, however this data contributes to the broader national funding landscape. Several Newcastle-based organisations receive funding through Arts Council England.
