The Baring Foundation grants for arts and older people
In September 2009, the Baring Foundation will launch a new funding programme giving core costs grants to arts organisations in the UK working with older people. It plans to spend a total of around £3 million in five 'nebula' rounds.
The first grants will be made in June 2010. The Foundation will publish a mapping report in September 2009 looking at current practice in this field. If you work for an arts organisation that works in this area it would be keen to hear from you.
