Paul Hamlyn Foundation’s Arts Fund Not Accepting New Applications Until 2027

Paul Hamlyn Foundation, one of the largest independent grant-making foundations in the UK, has announced that it will not be accepting new applications to its Arts Fund until at least April 2027, rather it will focus on renewing existing grants and revisiting applications received in the last year.

The Foundation has received an 'unprecedented' number of applications and in response to this, the Foundation is 'thinking carefully about how to maintain a healthy balance between renewing grants to organisations it already funds while also seeking opportunities to support new organisations whose work resonates with the Foundation's mission'.
