Trusts and Foundations

We wouldn’t exist without the generous support of trusts and foundations. They’ve helped us change lives for almost thirty years.

Our impact reaches thousands of people across North Yorkshire and beyond, bringing creativity and performance to communities via The Courthouse, ON Tour, and a range of outreach projects.

We would like to express our sincere thanks to all of our funders.

Since 2015, we have been supported by Army Covenant Fund, Artichoke, Awards for All, The Baring Foundation, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, The LOCAL Fund, Garfield West Foundation, Lloyds Foundation, The National Lottery Community Fund, The National Heritage Lottery Fund, The Peter Sowerby Foundation, Two Ridings Community Foundation and UNLIMITED, alongside a range of statutory partners, local and district councils, contracts and commissions.

If you’re interested in supporting Rural Arts via your trust, foundation or other grant-giving body, please email our Director and CEO, Max May: max@ruralarts.org
