Are there any changes planned to the Open Fund for Organisations (OFFO) which an unsuccessful Multi Year Fund applicant may need to consider?

The current Open Fund for Organisations (OFFO) guidance remains in place and will continue to operate without any additional restrictions for the remainder of the financial year 2024/25. If an applicant believes their proposed project is compatible with the OFFO fund eligibility and guidance, and their organisation is eligible, they can apply to the fund. Please note, existing RFOs are not currently eligible for OFFO funding. 

It is worth noting that once Multi-Year Funding has been delivered, we will review and introduce new open access funds in the 2025/26 financial year. As these funds have not yet been developed, more information cannot yet be shared. As soon as more details are available, it will be shared on our website and across our social media channels.
