About us
Founded on Passion. Built with Integrity.
Dedicated to the Arts.
The Arts Fundraisers was founded in 2021 by Julie Eason and Hannah Travers, experienced fundraisers with a deep love for the arts. After years of supporting cultural organisations through our sister consultancy, The Fundraisers, we saw the need for a specialist team focused solely on the arts.
We created The Arts Fundraisers to help artists and organisations recover from the pandemic and realise their full potential. Today, we work across the UK with clients ranging from grassroots collectives to national institutions.
Our Impact:
- 99% success rates with the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Garfield Weston Foundation.
- 84% success rate with the UK Arts Councils / Creative Scotland.
- 100 percent success in ACE Cultural Recovery and Emergency Grants
- £49 raised on average for every pound our clients invest in trust fundraising.
- 8 clients who we helped into the ACE National Portfolio last time, of whom 6 were new entrants and 3 were in London,
Who Funds Our Clients: We regularly secure funding from funders including Arts Council England, Creative Scotland, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, John Ellerman Foundation, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts, Garfield Weston Foundation, The National Lottery, Heritage Lottery Fund, local and national governments.
We believe in fundraising that reflects the best of the arts: bold, generous, and transformative fundraising.
