Foyle was the daughter of William Foyle who co-founded the family owned bookshop Foyles in London’s Charing Cross Road, which she continued to manage after her father’s death.

There are three grant programmes, with a maximum funding of £500,000 available for projects that support young people through arts and learning, with a particular emphasis on expanding access to this.

What are the grants and how much is available?

The main grants scheme is for UK-based organisations with an annual turnover of £150,000 or more and whose main purpose is for arts and learning.

Main grant scheme applicants can apply for between £10,000 and £500,000, although the majority of grants range from £10,000 to £50,000, unless for large capital applications.
