The Trustees’ main objective is to support new work. Given The Elephant Trust’s modest resources grants are usually between £2,000 and £5,000.
In some cases awards may also be leveraged to receive subsequent funding from organisations such as the Arts Council. We encourage successful applicants to look into how they can use their award to unlock other funding.
Priority is given to artists in the fine arts and small organisations and galleries who should submit imaginative proposals for making or producing new work or exhibitions. Successful applicants should leave a minimum of two years before reapplying for help with a new project.
Projects with a total budget exceeding £30,000 will not be supported.
