Moniker Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- If your project is in arts, particularly urban or street art, digital arts, work with emerging artists, arts education or public art, it fits the Foundation's stated themes, and it makes grants to registered charities for educational work.
- Its total annual giving is £17,500 and no grant range is stated, so a modest request is the safer assumption.
- The annual report shows grants mainly in Greenwich, but no geographic focus is stated, so location alone should not rule you out.
- No way to apply was found in its annual report, register entry or website, so they give no route in and do not show how it chooses grants or how competitive it is.
