The Goldsmiths’ Foundation supports organisations that focus on vocational skills and training, working at the intersection of creativity and social change.
Their ambition is to support a portfolio of organisations who represent change through development of technical and vocational skills, who wish to learn from each other and (further) realise the potential of the creative industries for personal, cultural and social transformation.
The types of grant they make, no matter what size, tend to fall into one of two areas:
Operating/Core Cost Grants
What are they for?
These grants are made towards the general costs of running your organisation. This means they can be used to help pay your bills or rent and provide support towards your salaries. They don’t use the term ‘unrestricted’ as their operating/core cost grants can’t be put towards endowments or building up your organisation’s reserves. They are to help your organisation deliver its vital work. They are sometimes referred to as ‘revenue grants’ by other funders.
Project/Specific Activity Grants
What are they for?
These grants are for a specific project or area of your work. It will have a defined scope of work and timetable, for example:
-
A theatre’s outreach project on set design with marginalised communities over a nine month period
-
A heritage and craft educators’ bursary programme for two years.
