The Trust offers grants in two areas: performing arts and heritage conservation.
Priorities for performing arts grants are:
- the development, production and/or performance of new works in music, theatre, dance and performance across all genres
- to support artists’ professional development through programmes that address a clear need or gap in development. These programmes can be aimed at early or mid-career artists but they need to reflect current context and practices.
Heritage conservation grants support the conservation of historically, artistically and culturally significant buildings and objects dating from before 1837 that are in urgent need of remedial treatment. Items must be in public or charitable ownership and accessible to the public.
The Trust prefers to give grants to smaller projects, or specific elements of projects, where their contribution can have a greater impact.
Who can apply?
Applicants must be UK registered charities, public authorities or public institutions.
Maximum annual income: £1,500,000
