Are Multi-Year Funded Organisations eligible to apply for the Open Fund for Organisations (OFFO) and other funds?

No, as was outlined in the MYF guidance, all MYF organisations (including those in the MYF Development Stream) will not be eligible to apply for the Open Fund for Organisations whilst in receipt of MYF funding. 

If a successful MYF organisation has previously submitted an OFFO application that is seeking funding for any activity taking place after MYF begins (April 2025), this will need to be withdrawn, and we will contact any organisation in this situation directly to action this.  

MYF organisations can continue to be involved in other future OFFO projects as partners, provided there is no duplicated activity or perceived double funding.  

For other targeted funds, eligibility criteria will be confirmed as we develop future funding rounds, but it is likely to follow the current rules whereby MYF organisations are only being eligible if their existing funding agreement does not cover the specific activity they are applying for (i.e. touring of theatre/dance, youth music etc).
