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.

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 £5,000.

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

The current funding round will close at midday on Friday 14 February 2025.

Decisions will be given by early June 2025.

Following this, the next round of funding will open on 2 June and close at midday on 5 September 2025, with decisions by early December.
