Cumbria Cultural Fund
To promote excellence in the arts and cultural life of Cumbria
Established as a special initiative by Miss M Burkett and friends. This is one of the Foundation’s newest long term capital funds. Funds available for distribution are therefore limited, but we very much hope to build this fund over time.
£1,200 available this year
Last year we gave 2 grants of £500 from 3 applications
What will the fund support?
The Fund was created to promote excellence in the artistic and cultural life of the county. There is an expectation that supported activities will reflect the highest level of achievement. We would hope that activities also introduce work to new audiences. Examples of activities the fund may support:
one off performances
exhibitions
lecture tours
activities which bring arts and culture to new audiences
activities supporting excellence in the arts

Decisions are made by a specialist panel
