Aims/priorities: The Trust offers grants to registered charities working in the following two areas:
- Arts Grants: Nurturing Early Stage Professionals - grants support training opportunities for emerging professionals, working creatively and backstage, within the performing and visual arts, post-training, and at an early stage in their career.
- Conservation Grants: Objects and Works of Art - grants support the conservation of cultural heritage of recognised national and international importance in museums, libraries, galleries, historic buildings, or landscapes accessible to the public.
Who can apply? For Arts Grants eligible organisations should be arts sector UK registered charities with a proven track record for excellence in their field.
For Conservation Grants organisations applying must be UK registered charities or national museums that are UK exempt charities. Applicants must own the object/work of art to be conserved. Applications from museums/libraries with charitable status where the object/work of art may still be owned by the local authority or university can be considered. Eligible applicants must provide a completed Conservation Report by an independent and accredited conservator or an in-house qualified conservator.
Grant amount: The maximum grant available is £7,000.
