Other funding bodies
Many other funding bodies can be found across the university, mostly attached to colleges. A complete list can be found below. You do not usually require a member of the college in your team in order to send an application but it is recommended that you mention any college involvement in your funding bid.
Your venue bid should not be used as your funding bid – there will likely be alterations and you will want to highlight different things in each format of bid. For help with what a funding bid should contain, have a look at our advice here.
Colleges increasingly provide small grants to support student theatre. However, it is almost always necessary to have a member of the college (JCR or MCR) working on your production as these are frequently obtained by JCR/MCR motions. Occasionally, there are JCR arts funds specifically designed for funding theatre and film projects. The best way of finding out about these is by having a member of the college seek advice from their JCR or MCR committee, or by getting in touch with one of the OUDS College Reps.
Calls for funding applications are also regularly advertised through the OUDS Newsletter.
