The Radcliffe Trust offers grants of £2,500–£7,500 to CICs, SCIOs and other not-for-profit organisations to develop the skills, knowledge and experience that underpin the UK’s cultural heritage and crafts sectors.
Key Criteria
Projects should support:
- emerging craftspeople of high quality
- craft and conservation projects and training
- projects demonstrating creative outcomes by designer-makers
- projects with potential for capacity building within the sector
- some special needs projects focusing on the therapeutic benefits of skills development
The trust occasionally awards grants in other areas of cultural creativity related to their concerns for heritage and crafts, including theatre, performance, and literature, especially where projects contribute to the promotion and development of high-level skills among early career practitioners and disadvantaged groups.
Applications should be for projects that start after 1 January 2027.
