Funding Description The Foyle Foundation is an independent grant-making trust that distributes grants to UK charities.

The Foundation operates a Main Grants Scheme supporting charities whose core work covers Arts and Learning and a Small Grants Scheme covering small charities in all fields.

There are no deadlines for either scheme and more details can be found at:

Main Grants Scheme

The Foundation seeks applications that make a strong artistic case for support in either the performing or visual arts. Typical areas of support include: helping to make the arts more accessible by developing new audiences, supporting tours, festivals and arts educational projects; encouraging new work and supporting young and emerging artists; and building and infrastructure projects to construct new arts facilities or improve or re-equip existing arts venues. The majority of grants will be in the range of £10,000 to £50,000. The maximum amount of a large grant will not normally exceed £500,000 and may be payable over several years. Please note that community arts activity will not generally be supported.

Small Grants Scheme

The Small Grants Scheme is designed to support smaller charities in the UK, especially those working at grass roots and local community level, in any field, across a wide range of activities. Applications are welcomed from charities that have an annual turnover of less than £100,000 per annum. They plan to make one year grants of between £1,000 and £10,000 to charities which can demonstrate that such a grant will make a significant difference to their work.
Range of amounts Not more than £500,000
