Purpose, aims and objectives
The purpose of Strategic Funding is to invest in and support the organisations needed to lead, sustain and develop the arts in Ireland.

In offering Strategic Funding to organisations, the Arts Council wishes to ensure:
The delivery of excellent artwork and/or events activities and services
Excellent opportunities for artists and/or arts professionals to develop their practice and/or to create or to be engaged in high-quality work
That the diversity of contemporary Ireland is reflected in the work it supports
That more people will enjoy high-quality arts experiences
Increased depth of engagement by and with the public
Excellent standards in governance and management in the arts.
Guidelines will be available mid-June
