Before proceeding with an application for a grant please ensure your project fits the Foundation’s criteria for funding:
The Foundation’s grants programme is focussed on specific objectives. It is
the Trustees’ policy to support sculpture, including projects and exhibitions which expand the definition of sculpture, such as film, photography and performance. We do not support projects dedicated to painting.
The key criterion is artistic quality; practical viability is also important.
Projects in the UK may include the work of artists from any country.
Overseas projects must contain a British component, e.g. a British artist.
Applications from individuals will only be accepted for the Fellowships
category of grant, in conjunction with appropriate institutions.
The Foundation does not normally provide revenue expenditure.
No grant (or part of any grant) may be used to pay any fee or to provide any other benefit to any individual who is a Trustee of The Henry Moore Foundation. Please advise whether it is envisaged that any Trustee will have an interest in the project in respect of which a grant is sought.
