Overview

The majority of the Foundation's support is directed towards performing and visual arts, culture and heritage, with a particular interest in engaging children and young people with art and culture. Some grants are also made in support of enhancing Jewish life and occasionally to the health and social care sectors. We support registered charities across the UK.

Who can apply?

The Main Grants Programme is open to registered charities (local authority cultural organisations are also eligible to apply). It should be noted that the majority of support is directed towards the cultural sector, and in particular to cultural learning and to museum, gallery, heritage and performing arts learning spaces.

The Foundation only very occasionally makes donations to the health and social care sectors. Support for enhancing Jewish life is largely directed towards JW3.

Main Grants Programme

Under the main grant programme they accept applications from £10,000 up to in excess of £1,000,000. However grants towards the higher end of this scale are very seldom awarded. The Trustees like to see that a variety of funders have been approached.

Whilst the Foundation does occasionally make donations to the health and social care sectors, it should be noted that the majority of its support is directed towards the cultural sector, and in particular to cultural learning and to museum, gallery, heritage and performing arts learning spaces. Support for enhancing Jewish life has largely been directed towards JW3: London's Jewish Community Centre.

The Foundation continues to maintain a balance between supporting large-scale projects, with far-reaching effects, and small-scale community endeavours. Larger grants are made infrequently. The majority of expenditure is for capital projects – only a small number of grants are made each year for programme funding.

Please note that organisations must be registered charities to be eligible for the Main Grants Programme, with the exception of local authority cultural organisations. Every year the Foundation receives many more requests than can ever be granted, and like most grant-making organisations, has to turn down many of the applications received. Applicants are therefore encouraged to apply to multiple funding sources, and not just to this Foundation.
