We support artists of colour in the UK with £1,000 grants to take a leap
We’ll be reopening for applications in Autumn 2025
If you’d like to apply for one of our grants, thank you! Please start here with our application guidance.
Our no-fuss application process has been shaped by artists and, since launching in May 2021, we’ve supported more than 150 artists with £1,000 grants.
The combined impacts of ethnicity and class mean the UK’s cultural landscape is much narrower than it should be. We’re reliant on the generosity of individuals and independent organisations to be able to award our grants. 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.”
