Trusts & foundations

Grants from trusts and foundations are crucial for us to realise our ambitions.

That’s because the Southbank Centre is more than just an arts venue – we’re on a mission to provide diverse audiences with transformative, life-enhancing encounters with culture in welcoming, inclusive, democratic spaces.

This is only possible thanks to meaningful partnerships with grantmakers – and we would love to work with your trust or foundation so we can carry on with this important work.
