Henry Moore Foundation
About This Funder
The Henry Moore Foundation, established in 1977 by British sculptor Henry Moore and his family, promotes public appreciation of the visual arts—especially sculpture—while preserving and advancing Moore’s legacy. Rooted in his belief in art’s transformative power, it fosters accessibility, scholarship, curation, conservation, and education through key venues like the Henry Moore Institute in Leeds (focusing on contemporary, historical, and international sculpture) and Henry Moore Studios & Gardens in Hertfordshire. Its distinctive approach emphasizes global leadership in sculpture, strategic partnerships (e.g., Yorkshire Sculpture International), and positioning sculpture at the heart of contemporary art and public life.
It funds non-profit projects worldwide advancing sculpture, including exhibitions, commissions, acquisitions, conservation, cataloguing, research, conferences, publications, and fellowships for academics/early-career researchers. Beneficiaries include public museums, galleries, universities, and specialist arts organizations demonstrating innovation, excellence, public engagement, and scholarly impact—such as recent grants for Lonnie Holley exhibitions, Alexander Liberman conservation, and Bold Tendencies programmes. No core/revenue funding or retrospective costs; excludes individuals unaffiliated with institutions, non-visual arts activities, or projects lacking public benefit.
Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities or academic institutions with at least 12 months of operation (no income thresholds); geographic focus leans UK but accepts international. Typical grants range £5,000–£20,000 (up to £20,000 for projects, £5,000 for conferences/publications, £2,500 for individual travel/research). Unsolicited applications via online Flexi-Grant portal (register early); quarterly rounds with next deadline 1 December 2025 (decisions in 6–8 weeks, projects start ~4 months post-deadline).
