Trusts and Foundations and Cultural Partners provide much needed grants.

Trusts and Foundations

Trusts and Foundations are crucial to ensuring the continued success of the Festival and our year-round work by supporting engagement and participation in the arts and creating meaningful talent development pathways for those interested in pursuing a career in the arts.

There are many ways that Trusts and Foundations can support us in delivering transformative programmes of work including Talent Development, Education, Participation, Access and Community engagement. With your support, we can continue to pioneer best practice in this field and realise our vital ambition to deliver the deepest possible experience, with the highest quality performances, to the broadest possible audience.

Widening Access

We aim to widen access to the International Festival through specific ticketing initiatives such as the Young Musicians Passport; Accessible Performances for audiences with specific requirements such as BSL, captioned and Audio-Described performances; and programming and marketing initiatives to reach new and under-represented audiences.

Residency

Following the success of our groundbreaking three-year residency with Castlebrae High School, the Edinburgh International Festival embarked on a new three-year residency in 2018 with Leith Academy, designed to enrich the life of the school. Read more about the Leith Academy residency here.
