The [National Portfolio](http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/how-well-invest-2018-22/about-national-portfolio-2018-22)
funding agreement has been extended from three years to four, “giving organisations
more time to plan, develop and create great work”.

_Three funding streams from ACE_

 

In the new four year period an additional £37 million will be spent each year, compared
to the 2015-18 period, helping to support:

 

 * a 4% increase in the proportion of the National Portfolio organisations budget
   spent outside London;
 * the integration of museums and libraries, for arts and museums’ activity into
   the portfolio;
 * bringing new, small and diverse organisations into the portfolio.

 

In this period, museums, arts organisations and libraries were able for the first
time to apply for National Portfolio investment. Libraries could only apply for 
arts and museums activity.

 

The [live NPO announcement](http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/NPO) will include a press
conference including four speakers and a Q&A. It should last for an hour.
