Aims/priorities: 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".
Who can apply? 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.'
Grant amount: 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.
Application process: There is no set application form. Details of the information that should be included are provided on the Foundation's website.
Applications should be supplied in digital form and hard copy, which should not be stapled; accounts and other supporting information should be supplied in hard copy only. An email contact is required with any application or enquiry. Most applications will be subject to a first appraisal; applicants who fail the first appraisal will be notified by email. In almost all instances the trustees make their decisions at the quarterly determination meeting and applicants are notified by post within the following week.
The Trustees normally meet on a quarterly basis (early March, June, September, and December). Applications for grants should be sent to the administrator at the registered office at least a month before the meeting (February, May, August, and November).
Deadline: Saturday 10 February 2024.
