Donate now

Individual donations are a crucial form of support for us. They supplement our income from grants and commercial activities, and we are often able to direct them towards immediate priority areas.

Personal donations help to fund and develop a whole range of folk activities across music, dance and scholarly research. From developing emerging talent, supporting folk-dance or training the next generation of folk programmers, your donation, large or small, will directly help to grow and nourish the future of the English folk arts.

Some recent and ongoing projects directly funded by private donations such as yours include:
