Sir Horace Ové Grant

To be eligible to apply, you must meet the following criteria:

• You will have been in paid or funded film and TV industry work in a behind-the-camera role for at least 40 days in the last 18 months. Alternatively, you will have worked at least two years in film and TV in the last 10 years and are seeking funding to return to work after a career break. You will have worked on content made in Britain and shown to British audiences on broadcast television including on-demand services, subscription-based streaming sites like Netflix or Amazon Prime, or in cinemas.
• The grant will enable you to seize a potentially transformative work opportunity and will have a demonstratable positive impact on your career or finances. Our awards will be prioritised to those who are experiencing the greatest need and have the least financial resilience. You will have no recourse to income, accessible savings or statutory funding to cover the cost.
• You must identify as Black or Global Majority. This refers to people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, or have been racialised as ​‘ethnic minorities’.

Whilst Black and Global Majority people are able to apply for The Sir Horace Ové grant and our Stop-Gap Grant, if an application is made to the Sir Horace Ove Grant to access an opportunity, any additional application for a Stop-Gap Grant must be to manage urgent financial needs or to support with unexpected costs in a crisis.
