Grant News
Arts organisations and charities that are working with schools, colleges and other formal education settings can apply for grants of between £30,000 and £300,000 to enhance the lives, development and achievements of children and young people who have experienced inequality through high quality arts-based learning activities.
The funding is being made available through the Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Arts-based Learning Fund.
The Foundation are particularly interested in applications with a focus on the following areas:
- support for pupils who experience systemic disadvantage to access and make progress in their learning
- creating more opportunities for high quality arts-based teaching and learning in education settings, especially in those which have not had this work in the past
- exploring the role of arts-based learning in addressing issues of inclusion, especially racism, in education
- effective practice in digital and blended arts-based teaching and learning
- enabling arts-based learning to be embedded in curricula and practice for the long-term.
Projects can last for two to four years.
All applicants must be working in partnership with schools or other formal education settings – i.e. primary and secondary schools, further education colleges, alternative provision, special schools and early years
The Foundation particularly welcome applications from organisations led by people most impacted by oppression, including racism, ableism, classism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and/or transphobia
There are no deadlines and applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
