Grand Plan

Grand Plan Grants

Grand Plan is a UK charity that provides £1,000 grants to artists of colour across the United Kingdom. The fund was launched in May 2021 and has since supported more than 150 artists with no-fuss grants designed to help them take creative leaps. The application process has been shaped by artists themselves to be simple and accessible. The fund was created to address the combined impacts of ethnicity and class that have made the UK's cultural landscape much narrower than it should be. Grand Plan relies on the generosity of individuals and independent organisations to award these grants to deserving artists. The grants provide artists with the freedom to push their ideas to their full potential and help get creative projects off the ground, particularly at a time when funding for the arts is scarce and difficult to obtain. The program aims to support diverse artistic voices and expand opportunities for underrepresented artists in the UK cultural sector.
