Funding Opportunities

The Foundation offers grants to non-profit arts organisations actively engaged in the cultural sector, supporting artistic projects. While our primary focus is on projects in London, we also support initiatives across the UK, with occasional consideration for international projects. Grants, ranging from £5,000 to £150,000, are awarded twice a year. 

Please note that 2024 grant guidelines will be published on our website by early March. Sign up to our mailing list to be informed when the call for Expressions of Interest and FAQs are available.
