About
The Radcliffe Trust is one of Britain's oldest charities, founded in 1714 by the will of Dr John Radcliffe. The Trust continues his charitable bequest through support of Music and Heritage & Crafts. In music, the Trust supports classical music performance and training, especially chamber music, composition and music education. In Heritage & Crafts, the Trust supports the development of the skills, knowledge and experience that underpin the UK's cultural heritage and crafts sectors.
Funding Opportunities
The Radcliffe Trust Music Grants
The Radcliffe Trust supports classical music performance and training, especially chamber music, composition and music education within the UK. Particular interests within music education include music for children and adults with special needs, youth orchestras and projects at secondary and higher levels, including academic research. The Trust responds to applications and also initiates their own projects. Applications which meet the criteria are considered by the Music Panel, which makes recommendations to the Trustees. Music grants typically range from £2,500 to £5,000. The Trust accepts applications from organizations including CICs, CIOs and other not-for-profit organizations, as well as quartets and ensembles, but not from individuals directly. Grants are awarded twice per year following Trustee meetings in July and December.
Heritage & Crafts Scheme
The Radcliffe Trust supports the development and practice of the skills, knowledge and experience that underpin the UK's heritage and crafts sector. This includes support for 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, and some special needs projects focusing on the therapeutic benefits of skills development. The Trustees will consider making occasional grants in other areas of cultural creativity related to their concerns for heritage and crafts, including theatre, performance, and literature, especially where projects can be shown to contribute to the promotion and development of high-level skills among early career practitioners and disadvantaged groups. Applications are considered by the Heritage & Crafts Committee, which makes recommendations to the Trustees. Grants are generally in the region of £2,500-£7,500 and support projects rather than fixed core costs, though proportionate overheads may be included through full cost recovery.
