2024-25 Grants Rounds

Most of our funding is allocated through our main grants programme which supports projects in two areas: performing arts and heritage conservation.

The trustees meet three times each year to consider applications. The Benefactor Cloud database opens for applications 10-12 weeks before the Trustees' meeting. At other times the database is 'locked'. Below is the timetable for grant rounds in 2024-25.

Performing arts

At the Leche Trust we believe that the arts – and artists – make the world a better place. A healthy and dynamic society is reflected in a vibrant arts ecology: we want to support work that is original, to nurture artists and their creativity.
