Grant-giving is central to the work of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s UK Branch. We provide grants and create partnerships with organisations in the UK, Portugal and beyond. Our grants are subject to a rigorous process of due diligence. Information about our grants is available on 360Giving and downloadable as part of our commitment to transparency.
