Elephant Trust Funds for Artists

The Elephant Trust aims to make it possible for artists and those presenting their work to undertake and complete projects when frustrated by lack of funds.

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.

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.

Projects with a total budget exceeding £30,000 will not be supported.

The deadline for this round of funding is 28 June 2026: Apply - The Elephant Trust
