The Radcliffe Trust continues his charitable bequest through the support of Music and Heritage & Crafts. Grants are currently open for both.
Music: The Radcliffe Trust supports classical music performance and training, especially chamber music, composition and music education.
Particular interests within music education are music for children and adults with special needs, youth orchestras and projects at secondary and higher levels, including academic research. The Trustees respond to applications and also initiate their own projects.
Heritage & Crafts: The Radcliffe Trust supports the development of the skills, knowledge and experience that underpin the UK’s cultural heritage and crafts sectors. 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.
Grant amounts: £2,500 – £7,500
There are typically two rounds per year, with trustee meetings held in July and December. Groups can apply for Music and Heritage & Crafts grants in the same funding round.
