lovingtonfoundation.orgAbout Lovington Foundation
The Lovington Foundation is a charitable trust that supports UK-based organisations working with underserved young people aged 14 to 25. Their focus is on education and skills development, particularly through the arts. They prefer to fund smaller organisations at a critical point in their development, helping them work towards long-term sustainability. The Foundation values the arts as a tool for personal growth and skills development, and seeks to create opportunities for young people who face barriers.
What Lovington Foundation funds
The Foundation funds education and skills development initiatives that use the arts as a vehicle for personal growth. This includes creative learning programmes, arts-based training, and educational opportunities for underserved young people. They support organisations across the UK that provide these opportunities, with a particular emphasis on helping young people aged 14 to 25 develop skills and confidence through artistic engagement.
Who can apply
The Lovington Foundation supports UK-based registered charities, charitable incorporated organisations, community interest companies, social enterprises, and community groups. They prioritise smaller organisations that are at a critical stage in their development and working towards long-term sustainability. Their work must focus on underserved young people aged 14 to 25, using education and skills development, particularly through the arts. There is no religious restriction.
What Lovington Foundation doesn't fund
The Foundation does not fund organisations working with children under 14 or adults over 25, nor general community projects that are not centred on education and skills development through the arts for young people. They also do not support organisations that do not fit their focus on smaller, development-stage groups.
How they like to fund
The Foundation welcomes unsolicited applications and provides funding to smaller organisations at a critical point in their development, with an emphasis on helping them work towards long-term sustainability. They support the work of organisations rather than specifying project or core costs.
