We believe in the power of the arts to enrich lives.
We champion the arts in all their forms, helping exceptional creative work reach audiences and play a vital part in our cultural life.
Since 1998, we have awarded over £1.79 million to 850+ charities, community interest groups, and other arts organisations.
The Golsoncott Foundation provides funding to arts organisations, supporting them to sustain ambitious artistic programmes, broaden access, and create opportunities for people of all ages to discover, practise, and find enjoyment in the arts.
The Foundation was established in 1998 from the estate of artist and sculptor Rachel Reckitt (1908–1995).
