In addition to being a community grant-giving organisation, since 2023 the Foundation is now actively seeking support from like-minded organisations to help us fulfil our culture and leisure vision as we strive to provide opportunities for our Letchworth residents and beyond.
Grants from Trusts and Foundations are a particularly vital part of our funding model and together with an annual commitment from the Foundation, are the basis of our fundraising strategy.
This mixed funding model ensures:
Sustainable Accessibility – through our year-round programme focused on children, families, and our local community.
Cultural Learning – through our vital programme for primary and secondary schools.
Development Pathways – for our next generation, emerging and future artists at Broadway Gallery.
Creative Engagement – with underrepresented communities, and by working in partnership, we aim to give a greater voice, more opportunities and access to these group.
2023 was also the second delivery year of our Culture Strategy, where we set out our vision that Letchworth will be a thriving arts, culture and heritage centre, providing opportunities for all to engage and achieve high levels of participation.
