No date for Grantium upgrade launch

A planned upgrade to Grantium, Arts Council England's (ACE) applications portal, has been delayed once again.

The system's many glitches have frustrated emergency funding applicants in recent months.

An upgrade was due late last year following delays.

An ACE spokesperson said: "Our priority at the moment is still to support the sector facing the challenges of Covid-19, getting desperately needed money to organisations as quickly as possible."

"While we will be launching the new version of Grantium as soon as we can, we are still focused on delivering the second round of the Culture Recovery Fund – so we don’t yet have a launch date."
