Grants of up to £100,000 are available to UK not-for-profit organisations for projects that explore and promote Asian culture. Funding is provided through the Bagri Foundation’s Arts & Culture Grants programme to support initiatives focusing on traditional or contemporary Asian culture, and featuring established or mid-career artists from Asia or its diasporas.
Open to UK-based charities, CIOs, CICs, exempt charities, and experienced creative collectives, the scheme supports a wide range of cultural activity including crafts, exhibitions, performance, literature events, and public commissions.
Grants usually cover 10-30% of total project costs, and average about £20,000. Organisations requesting grants over £75,000 should contact the Foundation before applying.
Applications follow a two-stage process. The stage one deadline is the 11th March 2026, with shortlisted applicants invited to submit a full application by the 17th April 2026
