Funding Opportunities
Royal Theatrical Fund Support Grant
The Royal Theatrical Fund provides financial support and valuable benefit advice to entertainment industry professionals who are unable to work due to illness, injury, or are in their twilight years. The Fund assists those who have worked professionally in the entertainment business, including those who work on stage, backstage, front of house, on camera, or behind camera. Applicants must have at least seven years of professional work experience in the entertainment industry and be experiencing financial difficulties due to their inability to work. The Fund reviews applications from individuals meeting all three criteria: seven years in the industry, inability to work due to illness or injury, and current financial difficulties. All information is treated in the strictest confidence, and the organization also offers an Emergency Crisis Grant for those who are able to work but experiencing financial difficulty.
The RTF - One-Off Emergency Crisis Grant
The Royal Theatrical Fund's Emergency Crisis Grant is a one-off grant designed to help theatre professionals facing financial emergencies who are not affected by illness or injury and do not fall under the usual remit of The RTF. The grant aims to provide essential support to keep food on the table, ease fuel crises to keep recipients warm, maintain phone connectivity, purchase essential school uniforms and white goods, and if possible, help maintain housing stability. The program is specifically targeted at helping individuals who cannot meet their essential needs due to unforeseen changes in their circumstances. Applications are processed on an ad hoc basis. Credit card and non-essential loan debts are not considered for this grant. The program requires applicants to have worked professionally in the theatre industry for at least 7 years, with their main income coming from this sector (including professional training), and to be based in the UK with a UK bank account.
