The John Ellerman Foundation

Arts is one of five areas of interest which benefits annually from the John Ellerman Foundation. In 2007/08, a total of 42 charities involved with the arts received £1.05 million between them.

Currently, the focus of the arts funding is directed towards music and opera, museums and galleries, and theatre and dance. The Foundation is particularly interested in charities which can demonstrate excellence in the field, commitment to attracting new audiences and wider public access, youth participation and motivation, originality and creativity in design, production and/or presentation and lasting impact.

Applications are invited from registered charities with a UK office involved in delivering projects throughout the United Kingdom, and can be made at any time. The Foundation is inclined to support small or medium-sized charities with an annual income of less than £25 million.
