BFI Audience Fund Opens for Applications (UK)

Organisations with direct experience in film distribution, exhibition and audience development can now apply for funding of between £20,000 and £200,000 for a range of audience-facing activities to boost diversity and inclusivity, and to build a broad film culture across the UK.

The British Film Institute Audience Fund which is funded through the National Lottery, provides two types of awards:

  • Project Awards – these support clearly defined time-limited proposals to increase audience choice and engagement across the UK;
  • Organisational awards – organisations will be expected to demonstrate significant impact on at least a regional, and ideally national, scale on a year-round basis.

The BFI Audience Fund close to new applications on the 5th October 2022.  

A new funding programme will be launched on the 1st April 2023 in line with the new National Lottery Strategy.
