priorities in Creative, Confident Communities. Of those 46 grants, 16 came from applications through our website, However, we received 472 applications through this way, and we鈥檙e conscious of the amount of effort being put into applications when we are making so few grants.</p><p data-block-key="5pv6k">We want to remain open to applications and hope the updated guidance will make it clearer to see what we are looking to fund, and easier for organisations to understand whether they should invest time in applying to us. We are hosting a <a href="/latest-news/pre-application-qa-ccc-14-november-2024/">Pre-application Q&A webinar on 14 November</a> where the team will talk through the guidance and application process. We鈥檒l spend most of the time answering questions.</p><p data-block-key="eghkv">Our funding priorities in Creative, Confident Communities:</p><ul><li data-block-key="dujvc">Communities working together for change</li><li data-block-key="96s9v">Community driven enterprise and regeneration</li><li data-block-key="ektgh">Community-led art and creativity</li></ul><p data-block-key="5ru2o"><a href="/guidance-for-support/creative-confident-communities-priorities/"><b>See the updated guidance for Creative, Confident Communities for more information.</b></a></p><p data-block-key="f89oi">Please note, this will take you to the section for this area of work.
