support us / Trusts and Foundations Support

As a registered charity, trusts and foundations provide vital funds to support our charitable mission to encourage an appreciation and understanding of contemporary art by a wide audience and donating works by important and new artists to museums and public galleries across the UK.

There are opportunities to support projects and initiatives linked to our acquisitions and professional development programmes and our Endowment Fund. Naming rights are available.

Contact us to discuss your interests and requirements further or to subscribe to the Contemporary Art Society’s quarterly e-News Update for trusts and foundations, supplying news about key projects and initiatives.

“The Contemporary Art Society has played an invaluable role in championing visual art all over Britain. Now more than ever, at a time of recession and so many anxieties about the future, its crucial contribution to our culture deserves to be applauded and cherished.” – Richard Cork, art critic and curator

Example of Recent Trusts and Foundations Support

The John Ellerman Foundation has generously supported strategic work to cultivate gifts & bequests of modern and contemporary art to public collections. With additional capacity, we have been able to substantially increase the volume, value and visibility of our gifts to public collections.
