The Foundation’s declared objective is “to promote, maintain, improve and advance the education of the public in the arts generally and, in particular, the fine arts and music”.
Funding is at the discretion of the Trustees. Grants tend to be between £250 and £3,000 with most in the £500 to £1,000 range.
They are normally given on a non-recurrent basis.
Voluntary sector organisations in the UK whose focus is primarily on the arts can apply for funding.
‘The trustees favour applications from arts organisations whose raison d’être is the art form itself, and its perfection or excellence in performance.’
The Trustees normally meet on a quarterly basis (February, May, August, and November). Applications for grants should be sent to the administrator at the registered office at least a month before the meeting.
The next meeting to consider grant applications will be in late May 2024. The deadline for this meeting is 4 May 2024. Applicants are advised to apply as soon as possible as applications will close early if the Foundation considers the number of applications to be more than could reasonably be considered.
There is no set application form. Details of the information that should be included are provided on the Foundation’s website.
