Our Vision
We are committed to the principle that artistic and cultural endeavours are essential to both individual identity and to an enlightened and tolerant society.
Our Mission
The Nelson Meers Foundation’s key objective is to foster innovative artistic and cultural expression by encouraging and supporting organisations and projects that advance the visual, literary and performing arts, or that seek to utilise the arts to create positive social change. We fund projects that utilise the arts to promote individual wellbeing, community sustainability and cultural tolerance.
We also seek to encourage greater appreciation of and engagement with the cultural sector.
Our GRANTMAKING
Regrettably, the Nelson Meers Foundation is no longer considering unsolicited applications for support. This reflects a decision on the part of the Nelson Meers Foundation’s trustees to focus our limited resources on maintaining support for our existing projects and partner organisations, and to continue to engage with the not-for-profit sector and with the community to strategically identify projects and initiatives within the ambit of our funding spectrum.
