Trusts & foundations
Grants from trusts and foundations are crucial for us to realise our ambitions
That’s because the Southbank Centre is more than just an arts venue – we’re on a mission to provide diverse audiences with transformative, life-enhancing encounters with culture in welcoming, inclusive, democratic spaces.
This is only possible thanks to meaningful partnerships with grantmakers – and we would love to work with your trust or foundation so we can carry on with this important work.
You could help the Southbank Centre develop and deliver:
- Sustainable accessibility through a year-round free public programme focused on children, families and local communities
- Improved physical and mental wellbeing via creative participation programmes for all ages and communities, including people who are isolated and lonely
- Access to the world of creative learning through our dynamic programmes for primary and secondary schools
- Opportunities for future artistic talent – especially people from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in the creative industries
- A pathway into production careers for underrepresented and marginalised groups through our Technical Academy
- Showcases for global majority artistic representation that also reflects Britain’s diverse, multicultural society
- A platform for marginalised or ‘invisible’ artistic voices throughout our year-round events programme
- Facilities which are accessible to all through our on-going programme of capital works
- The expansion of our national reach through touring exhibitions and digital projects.
We welcome the opportunity to explore and build new relationships with funders from around the world.
