  16. Resource and financial constraints The Market Theatre Foundation benefitted greatly from Lottery funding for the past 10 years. As an organ of state the MTF will not benefit in future. This is a material loss and will have a huge impact on our programmes. We urge DAC to request an amendment. Funding is the no 1 risk for the MTF.
