Wales Cultural Council
The Wales Cultural Council is dedicated to prioritizing enriching lives of the residents of Wales by funding rich and varied cultural and science-based activities for students, seniors, families, and the general public.
All events must be supported by a local organization, and a venue must be secured prior to submitting the application. The sponsoring organization must provide a letter confirming that the event will be hosted by them and that a venue has been secured. This letter must accompany the application.
The Wales Cultural Council now offers direct grants rather than reimbursement grants.
