About the funding
Austin and Hope Pilkington Trust each year introduce different funding priorities.
In 2025, the focus will be:
- Rounds 1 and 2 – Access to the Arts: The focus will be projects that improve audience engagement with and attendance of live performing arts projects – theatre, dance or music – particularly audiences who do not usually have the opportunity to attend performances.
- Rounds 3 and 4 – Refugees and Asylum Seekers: To be eligible, a project must focus exclusively on refugees and/or asylum seekers as its beneficiaries, without extending services to other groups. We don’t fund salaries for charity staff unless specifically employed for the project concerned.
The project must fall within the relevant category for the year the application is submitted and organisations may only make one application during any one year.
Currently in round 2.
