The Open Fund: Sustaining Creative Development is now closed. The National Lottery Open Fund for Organisations is an updated version of this fund.
As part of our ongoing work to reshape our funding approach, we have launched a refreshed National Lottery Open Fund for Organisations, and a new time-limited National Lottery Extended Programme Fund.
You can read more about this transition in our latest update on Open Funding for Organisations.
About the fund
The Open Fund: Sustaining Creative Development aimed to enable organisations to explore ways of working that will help them to adapt and respond to the current changing circumstances. The overall budget for this fund in the financial year 2021/22 was £7 million.
