UK | Bagri Foundation grants

The Foundation offers grants to non-profit arts organisations actively engaged in the cultural sector, supporting artistic projects. Find out more on our FAQs.

While our primary focus is on projects in London, we also support initiatives across the UK and by invitation only for international projects. Grants, ranging from £5,000 to £150,000, are awarded twice a year. If you are looking to apply for more than £75,000, please reach out to the team in the first instance.
