Our Funding Criteria

Sputnik offers grants up to £500 for artists who are Christians whose projects fall into one of the following categories:

• Self-initiated projects
• Community projects
• Projects for personal artistic development

Funding Criteria

• Artists who have a track record of self-initiated projects, and who have already shown willingness to put their own time and money into their work.
• Projects that have the potential to engage with a universal audience (not just Christians)
• Projects that are not primarily evangelistic or explicitly for ministry purposes

Sputnik aims to work with artists from a variety of backgrounds, culturally and artistically and from different locations across the UK. We will also take this into account during the application process.

What’s in it for Sputnik?

Well, in a sense nothing. We genuinely want to serve artists, and we gather funds for that specific purpose. However, should your application be successful we ask for:

• Documentation of your project (photos, video footage, downloadable recordings, etc)
• Permission to share some of this documentation with our patrons and for general Sputnik promotion
• Potentially an interview about yourself and your project.

We look forward to hearing what you’re up to and how we might be able to help – head over to our application page to submit your proposal.
