The Ragdoll Foundation Open Grants Scheme launched in February 2016. In our first nine months:
- We received 150 stage one applications, invited 20 organisations to submit stage two proposals, and awarded £255,392 to 11 projects – enabling work valued at £430,100 to take place.
- Our smallest award to date has been £7,500 for a 6-week ceramics project which supported a museum in North Wales to introduce creative practice to its learning programme.
- Our largest award to date has been £49,950 for an ambitious 3-year programme for early years and families at an arts centre in Northern Ireland.
