About The Henry Moore Foundation

The Henry Moore Foundation is a specialist arts funder focused on sculpture, supporting artists, exhibitions, research, conservation, and the long-term preservation of Henry Moore’s legacy. It backs both direct artist support and institution-led projects, with particular strength in UK sculpture infrastructure but also some international research and exhibition funding. The foundation tends to favor sculpture-specific work that has public impact, scholarly value, or strong collection-conservation outcomes.

Giving Approach

Offers a mix of competitive, program-based support: an unrestricted Artist Award Scheme for UK sculptors, project grants through Henry Moore Grants with four application rounds per year, and one-month research fellowships in Leeds. Grants are generally targeted and thematic rather than open-ended, with funding aligned to sculpture-focused projects, institutions, and research.

How to approach this funder

Check the specific program first: the Artist Award Scheme is for UK sculptors, Henry Moore Grants run on four annual deadlines, and research fellowships have their own separate call and timeline. Strong applications should be tightly tied to sculpture, clearly describe public or scholarly benefit, and fit one of the foundation’s priorities such as exhibitions, commissions, conservation, cataloguing, or research.
