£30 million of Lottery funds will be invested in an integrated match-funding and capacity building scheme to increase arts organisations' ability to fundraise. This fund will offer tailored awards covering a three-year period and will be open to individual organisations or those working together that have some experience of fundraising.

Ethics in the Arts - In these shaky financial times should the arts accept cash from anyone? Who should a sponsorship policy exclude? We know more money is needed. It might save your venue, create a striking community project or be the icing on the cake for a totemic show. It might save your job.
