Curious Minds supports a fairer, more inclusive arts education and cultural learning system, with a strong emphasis on giving children and young people regular access to creativity and culture. Its funding is highly local and practical, often reaching community-based arts groups, youth-serving organisations, and even young people directly through place-based initiatives in Wigan Borough. The funder stands out for connecting educators, artists, and communities, and for using small grants and brokerage to create real access to creative experiences and work opportunities.
Primarily local, program-based grantmaking through the Chance to See Fund, with grants distributed in rounds as announced rather than on a fixed annual deadline. The model appears to favor smaller, targeted grants and direct support to organizations and young people in Wigan Borough, alongside partnership-based delivery with local arts and community groups.
Watch the Chance to See Fund page for new rounds, since deadlines are not fixed or regularly published. Applicants should be based in or serving Wigan Borough and propose projects that expand access to creative activity for children and young people; local arts groups, community organizations, and youth-focused partners appear especially well aligned.
