The Wolfson Foundation is an independent grant-making charity focused on research and education. It funds programmes in the UK across science, health, heritage, humanities and the arts. Since 2007, the Foundation has awarded almost £10 million in grants to arts and heritage projects at the places in our care.

Our funding partners are crucial to support the work of our cause. The funds we receive each year from the Wolfson Foundation enable the conservation and restoration of the historic collections and buildings we care for and help us to secure further donations.

Discover more about the projects the Wolfson Foundation supports to deliver benefits in many regions of the country.
