Arts Council England (ACE) have recently published further information about its NPO 2023 onwards. All information can be found on ACE website
Financial templates – to help you prepare to make your application and so that you understand what information ACE’ll be seeking in addition to that provided via the financial template.
Application form and outcomes and IP templates – you’ll need to provide this information via a template that ACE’ll publish in January, but the webpage gives you more information about the templates ACE will ask you to complete.
The role of boards – NPOs and Good Governance – the NPO 2023+ process will see an increased focus by the Arts Council on the governance arrangements that NPOs have in place. We have published an information sheet explaining our requirements for governing bodies. We expect portfolio organisations to have a governance structure that includes a body that has independent oversight of the organisation. For many, this will be a formal board of trustees and this will satisfy our requirements. If your governance structure is in a different form such as an advisory group or a local authority committee, it must have the capacity to adhere to a set of requirements which we have published on the information sheet.
MUSEUMS ONLY
Accredited museums (or those working towards Accreditation) based in England can apply to the National Portfolio for museums activity. Find out more about eligibility for museums here.
NPO 2023 onwards: Steps you can take now – there’s a number of steps you can take now if you’re interested in making an application which are outlined on our website.
Timeline – the timeline covers a lot of ground, taking us from 21 October 2021 through to 1 April 2023.
