Foyle Foundation Main Grants Programme Has Reopened

The Foyle Foundation’s Main Grants Programme has now reopened. Key areas for the fund are arts and learning.

In light of Covid-19, the Foyle Foundation is seeking to support organisations to stabilise and recover from the impact of coronavirus. What this means…

…for arts projects:

  • helping to make the arts more accessible by developing new and more diverse audiences
  • encouraging new work and supporting young and emerging artists; skilled freelancers and independent practitioners
  • projects that encourage sustainability by reducing overheads or which help generate additional revenue. This might include environmental improvements to save energy and lower carbon emissions where a cost benefit can be demonstrated

…for learning projects. Priority will be given to:

  • libraries, museums and archives
  • special educational needs
  • projects that encourage sustainability by reducing overheads or which help generate additional revenue. This might include environmental improvements to save energy and lower carbon emissions where a cost benefit can be demonstrated
  • projects and activities which increase access and widen the diversity of attenders/visitors

How Much Can You Apply For? 

The majority of Main Grants are expected to be in the range of £10,000 to £50,000 for revenue projects, with some larger grants possible depending upon need and purpose.

When Can You Apply? 

Applications are accepted all year round. There are no deadlines for submission.

It may take up to four months, occasionally longer, to receive a decision from the Trustees, so apply well in advance.
