Fidelio Charitable Trust Arts Grant

16 Jul 2026

The Fidelio Charitable Trust is inviting applications for small grants supporting the arts in the UK.

Grants of up to £5,000 are available for individuals and groups of exceptional ability who would not be able to carry out an artistic project or activity without financial support. The Trust places particular emphasis on people at an early stage in their careers.

Applications may be made on behalf of individuals aged over 21 and groups who are practitioners or performers in the arts. Proposed recipients must be in real need of support and considered particularly able and or gifted.

Requests are open institutions, colleges, arts festivals or other similar arts organisations in the UK with recognised relevant expertise, preferably registered charities.

The Trust welcomes requests across the arts, music and theatre. Support can cover activities including special tuition or coaching such as attending master classes, participation in external competitions, costs linked to a specially arranged performance and assistance with a musical composition.

Trustees meetings are held in spring, summer and autumn to consider requests. Deadlines for application may change - check the Trust's website before applying.

Deadline to apply is 25 September at 12 noon.
