To submit a video application for the Black Imagination Fund, please record yourself answering the following question and email them over to [email protected] with the subject title ‘Black Imagination Fund’. The deadline for applications is 25th May.

Before you start please take note of the following things:

• This is a micro fund, so please do not try to deliver the world on a £500 budget. This fund might support a version of an already existing project, or resource a scaled-down version or testing of an idea.
• If your proposal is selected, you will take over YARD - our Site of Imagination. The spaces available to you are the Ground floor, Music studio and Project room. Floor plans are on the previous page.
• This fund is specifically for Black organisations, groups or individuals who are based in the West Midlands.
• The dates of delivery will be between the 3rd - 7th July.
• As YARD was built as a townhouse, we have limited capacity to how many people can be in the space. Therefore please do not try and accommodate more than 30 people in the space at one time.
