Example
The Cultural Investment Fund was designed to seed fund cultural initiatives through an open call, grant-making process. It was a collaborative effort that saw the National Portfolio Organisations (NPOs) in the city pool budgets and jointly commission activity that aligned with the strategic objectives set out in the Culture Plan.
