GRANTS

If you are interested in applying for funding through our annual grant-giving activity, please submit a proposal to The Ampersand Foundation. We support all kinds of visual arts projects including exhibitions, commissions, public collection enhancement, artists residencies and educational projects. We allocate funding once a year at our Trustees’ Summer meeting and we are unable to approve grants at any other time of year.

We also allocate major, multi-year grants to institutions for projects that will have a transformational impact on them, their local communities and the towns in which they are based. We aim to have an active involvement in the development of these projects so please do get in touch with us to discuss those.

Please note that it is a requirement that all exhibitions and projects supported by The Ampersand Foundation should be free to the public at least one whole day per week and that we do not support capital projects or core costs.

Expression of interest applications will open in June. Successful applications will be invited to summit a full application, the outcome of which will be communicated in November. Further information about the process will be released next month.
