We support artists of colour in the UK with £1,000 grants to take a leap
The combined impacts of race and class mean the UK’s cultural landscape is so much narrower than it should be.
Since launching in May 2021, Grand Plan has backed more than 150 artists with £1,000 grants.
Our no-fuss application process has been shaped and led by artists, and we exist to support those who are often overlooked by traditional funders.
We’re currently busy fundraising, and aiming to reopen applications in early 2025. If you’re interested in supporting us, we’d love to hear from you.
“[The Grand Plan grant] was a massive show of solidarity at a really tricky time in my life... without the help of this grant I wouldn’t have been able to afford even the ‘essentials’ to keep going”

“Grand Plan gave me the freedom to push my ideas to their full potential, helping to get one of my side projects off the ground at a time when funding for the arts is very scarce and difficult to obtain.”
