40th Anniversary grant recipients announced
Mon, 25 Apr 2022
The Board Members of Culture Vannin are pleased to announce the selection of nine projects to receive special funding from its 40th Anniversary grants fund in 2022.
The grants awarded, totalling £40,000, aim to support bigger ideas, especially those that embrace innovation and change. The recipients of the grants, which were awarded to the value of either £2,500 or £5,000, are as follows (in alphabetical order):
Chris Thomas MHK, Chair of Culture Vannin said:
“This special grant fund celebrates everything that we are about, and I am very pleased with both the quality and diversity of the nine projects our Board has selected to support. We were delighted by the high volume of applications that were received, many of which were of an excellent standard and fitted the remit well.”
A key requirement of the 40th Anniversary grants fund was that applicants must deliver a project, ideally at least beginning in 2022, relating to the Isle of Man and its people. The project had to fit within at least one of the areas in the remit of the cultural charity, as laid down in the Manx Heritage Foundation Act: archaeology; history and law; industrial development; language and literature; architecture; music, folklore and folk dance; arts and crafts; and natural history and ecology.
Dr Breesha Maddrell, Director of Culture Vannin said:
“We are excited to see the outcomes of these projects and look forward to sharing them in the coming year. This special anniversary grants fund will operate in addition to the charity’s normal grants fund which will welcome applications as usual throughout the year.”
The next opportunity to apply for a grant is to the May Board Meeting which has a submission deadline of Friday 6th May. Details can be found at www.culturevannin.im/fundingawards/grants
