About Art for Cure

Art for Cure is a grant-making charity that funds breast cancer support services in East Anglia. The Trust focuses on improving the wellbeing and care of people affected by breast cancer by supporting practical and emotional help such as counselling, peer support, complementary therapies and other wellbeing initiatives. The charity also makes its own donations to national breast cancer research projects, though these are not open to application. Its funding character is grounded in a regional commitment to East Anglia, prioritising services that have a direct impact on those living with or beyond breast cancer.

What Art for Cure funds

Art for Cure funds breast cancer support services delivered by charities and community groups in East Anglia. Supported services include counselling, peer support, complementary therapies and other wellbeing initiatives. The Trust prioritises projects that provide practical and emotional support to people diagnosed with breast cancer, their families and carers. All grants under this programme are for services within East Anglia. The Trust also makes its own donations to national breast cancer research projects, but these are not funded through applications.

Who can apply

Registered charities and community groups based in or serving East Anglia are eligible to apply. The Trust prioritises organisations whose services directly benefit people diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as their families and carers. There is no religious restriction. Applicants of varying sizes are welcomed, with a focus on those delivering practical and emotional support in the region.

What Art for Cure doesn't fund

The Trust does not accept applications for research projects, capital costs or core costs. Grants are for specific projects rather than multi-year commitments. Support services funded must be delivered within East Anglia; applications for services outside this region are not considered. The Trust's own donations to national research are not open to application.

How they like to fund

Grants are one-off project awards for specific initiatives, not multi-year commitments. The Trust welcomes unsolicited applications from eligible organisations. Its funding style combines a regional focus on East Anglia for support services with direct donations to national research, though only the service grants are open to application.
