The Foyle Foundation
Funding Opportunity: The Foyle Foundation
The Foyle Foundation supports charities registered in the UK, the dominant purpose of which is to benefit either the Arts, Learning or Health. Within its 'Arts' scheme, the Foundation seeks applications that make a strong artistic case for support in either the performing or visual arts.
Priorities for support include:
- To help make the arts more accessible by developing new audiences, supporting tours, festivals and arts educational projects; and
- To encourage new work and support young and emerging artists
Building and infrastructure projects to construct new arts facilities, improve or re-equip existing arts venues will also be considered. However, community arts activity will not generally be supported.
Within the Foundation's 'Learning' scheme, they seek to make a difference by supporting projects which facilitate the acquisition of knowledge and which have a long-term strategic impact. Their main priorities for support are:
- Libraries, museums and archives;
- Special educational needs and learning difficulties
The majority of grants will be in the range of £10,000 to £50,000. Applications for less than £10,000 per annum will generally not be accepted. The maximum amount of a large grant will not normally exceed #500,000 and may be payable over several years. Applications are accepted all year round.
