We believe in the power of the arts to enrich lives, inspire learning and bring people together.

That’s why we proudly support arts organisations, including our own Member Societies, museums, heritage projects and community initiatives through our grants programmes — helping to preserve and share culture, creativity and heritage for future generations.

By funding inspiring projects across the UK and beyond, we help make the arts more accessible and support the communities that keep them thriving.
