The fund is designed to help support companies strengthen and hone their expert creative capabilities.
As part of our commitment to grow strong and resilient companies across Ireland, Screen Ireland with support from the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media sectors is launching a new Creative Futures Fund (CFF). The fund is designed to help support companies strengthen and hone their expert creative capabilities and ambitions and build cultural resilience to enable high quality cultural projects.
The fund is particularly targeted at those who are looking to expand and build on their creative ambitions, develop talent, target a diverse and expanding creative slate and support their business with the adequate skills and capabilities needed to enable increased opportunity and growth.
This may be in the form of key creative and expert consultancy (domestically or internationally), or employment of new expert creative personnel. The Creative Futures Fund is about building strength and depth in in-house creative teams.
With two strands - International and Next Stage Development - aimed at increasing scale and ambition for smaller, emerging companies as well as more established businesses looking to establish a wider international footprint, the Creative Futures Fund will support creative and business costs to help ensure companies develop their own creative vision and voice and deepen creative partnerships.
The deadline for receipt of applications is 1pm, Friday, October 29th, 2021.
