Applications for 2025’s Soho House Foundation grants are open
We’re looking for new charities and organisations to receive grants as part of our commitment to fund and empower diverse creative talent worldwide
Wednesday 16 April 2025 By Chloe Lawrance
In 2022, we launched The Soho House Foundation, a charity issuing grants globally to fund and empower creatives from underrepresented and lower socioeconomic backgrounds. As a global community for creatives, we see first-hand the benefits of providing opportunities for diverse talent to flourish – and these grants support organisations doing brilliant work to help young people through the arts.
Continuing our work for the foundation, applications for 2025’s grants are now open. We would like to hear from charitable organisations making an impact in increasing access to the arts and creative industries for people who face economic or other barriers to inclusion, in communities where we have members, including Cities Without Houses locations.
