GRANTS
At The Glass Society, we are passionate about supporting the study, creation and appreciation of glass — both as an art form and as a craft with deep historical and technical roots.
In keeping with our charitable and educational mission, the Society offers grants, bursaries, awards and donations to help individuals and institutions pursue glass-related projects. These may include research, conservation, exhibitions, publications or educational initiatives that broaden understanding and inspire future generations.
Through these opportunities, we aim to encourage creativity, scholarship and innovation in every area of glass study and making.
For full details on available funding and how to apply, please see our Grants Policy.
