Grants programme
Henry Moore changed the way we understand sculpture. His Foundation continues to do so today.
In addition to our own programmes at our bases in Hertfordshire and Leeds, we support the growth and development of sculpture through our Grants programme. Henry Moore Grants continue Moore's legacy by supporting sculpture across historical, modern and contemporary registers and seeking to fund research that expands the appreciation of sculpture.
In 2017-18 we will award grants to a total value of £500,000, with applications assessed four times during the year by the Grants Committee.
Deadlines for applications in 2017 are 8 September and 8 December.
