Key conditions

A project can receive support no more than three times and each re-application must expand scope.
For any project where timing matters, applicants should avoid making irreversible commitments before confirming the programme's pre-start requirements. Where the scheme is discretionary or delivered through an appointed partner, the agency or programme partner retains the final decision on eligibility and quantum.
How and when should you apply?
The NEA Partnership Fund remains open with no fixed public closing date.
Is this scheme relevant to your project?
