FUNDING: Idlewild Trust (arts & conservation) – Feb deadline

This Trust supports charities that improve opportunities for young professionals working in the arts.

It particularly supports those at an early stage in their careers, and the conservation of important works of art and objects that are being lost through lack of funds.

A total award value of £276,774 was made in 2024, across 43 grants.

Application can be made by UK registered charities working in the above two priority areas for small one-off grants for up to £7,000. The average grant size is in the region of £6,500.

If you have previously received a grant from the Trust, you cannot reapply for 24 months.

The next deadline for applications is 13 February 2026.
