Notes
Runs across recurring rounds through the year. Re-verified: the council's own funding page confirms the published 2026/27 schedule — the round with a 19 July 2026 application deadline (award notified 14 August 2026) has now closed; the next round opens 1 September 2026, closes 29 November 2026, with awards notified 18 December 2026. Modelled as an ongoing annual programme rather than a single closed round.
Requirement
Individual, group, or organisation delivering an arts/cultural project within the Borough of Maidstone, or directly benefiting its communities.

This one is usually simple enough to do yourself using the free official link below — but if you'd rather have help, we're building relationships with vetted professionals and can let you know if that becomes available.

Some of the organisations we may connect you with pay us a referral fee if you use their service. This never affects which listings you see in the directory. No live partner is confirmed yet for this listing.

You can also do this yourself for free via the official source
