The Elephant Trust

The Trust was set up in 1975 to make it possible for artists and those presenting their work to undertake and complete projects when frustrated by lack of funds. It is committed to helping artists and institutions that depart from the routine and signal new, distinct and imaginative sets of possibilities.  The Trustees’ main objective is to support new work.  Given The Elephant Trust’s modest resources, grants are usually limited to £2,000. Priority is given to artists and small organisations and galleries who should submit well argued, imaginative proposals for making or producing new work or exhibitions.  The following categories are not supported:  Arts Festivals  Group Exhibitions  Charities organising community projects  Students  Educational or other studies  Residencies or research  Symposia or conferences  Publications or catalogues  Projects taking place outside the UK Applicants are asked to consider these guidelines carefully, as well as the categories not supported, before applying to be sure that their project falls within the remit of The Elephant Trust.   Registered Charity No 269615 512 Bankside Lofts 65 Hopton Street London SE1 9GZ http://www.elephanttrust.org.uk/docs/theguide.html
