Applications open for Arts for Impact 2026

Arts & culture charities have until 17 December to apply to take part in the 2026 Arts for Impact match funding campaign, run by FPAC in partnership with Big Give.

Arts & culture charities are invited to apply to take part in the Arts for Impact match funding campaign, run in partnership by Figurative Philanthropy for Arts & Culture and Big Give. The campaign, now in its third year, asks charities to highlight the profound societal impact of their work in their application.

 

In 2025, Arts for Impact raised £2.7m to support 286 arts & culture charities making a transformational difference in their communities around the UK. The campaign received over 13,500 public donations, which were doubled using £1.2m in match funding secured from a range of philanthropic champions.

 

The 2026 campaign week will take place in March 2026. Charities have until 17 December to apply to take part, and successful charities will be notified in early February. Figurative Philanthropy for Arts & Culture is a project to encourage new philanthropic giving in the arts, funded by Arts Council England.
