The Baring Foundation
The Baring Foundation has specific grants programmes concerned with strengthening the voluntary sector, the arts and international development. The arts programme 2009 is now open. It will provide grants towards the core costs of arts organisations for their work with refugees and asylum seekers. This can include salaries, professional development, documentation and evaluation, publicity, day to day office costs.
Formally constituted, not-for-profit organisations can apply to the Foundation. For the arts programme, applicant organisations must have had an annual income of at least £50,000 in the previous year. There is an application form, which can either be filled in online, or sent through the post. Along with the form, you also need to send in a written proposal.
The next deadline for submitting arts programme applications is 12 December 2008. News about the 2009 Joint International Development grants programme is due to be announced towards the end of December 2008; news of the 2009 Strengthening the Voluntary Sector programme should follow in early 2009.
Deadline: 12 December 2008
