Arts Council England (ACE) will share its funding decisions for the next National Portfolio on Wednesday 26 October.
The funder confirmed the date online this afternoon, ending speculation from prospective portfolio organisations on when the news will be delivered.
Earlier this year, ACE said decisions would be made by 14 October before its online guidance pushed the deadline back to 'late October'.
Now, ACE has confirmed all organisations that made an application to join the portfolio for the next three years will be contacted on October 26, to let them know if they are being awarded funding.
"That offer will be conditional and subject to the negotiation of a satisfactory funding agreement. We’ll also publish the names of the organisations we’ve made an offer to online," guidance on their website states.
