The Foundation encourages and promotes the study, practice and appreciation of science and the arts, including music and opera, in the North West of England.
Applicants need to provide a brief outline of the project for which funding is sought by completing a short enquiry form. If the application is to proceed then an application pack will be sent in time for consideration at the next available meeting of the Advisory Council which meets three times a year at regular intervals (usually in February, June and October). The Council looks for imaginative proposals from organisations (preferably with charity status) which will make the north-west a richer and more attractive place in which to live and work.
