Provide funding

from a foundation or trust

Trusts and foundations play a vital role in supporting a thriving arts and cultural sector. Funding for the Bergen International Festival makes ambitious artistic projects, new initiatives and memorable experiences for audiences possible.

The Bergen International Festival has extensive experience of working with trusts and foundations committed to artistic development and creating a lasting impact in the arts. Funding can support individual projects and performances, audience engagement and outreach, or larger-scale initiatives that create new possibilities for artists and bring the arts to more people.

Your support enables both emerging and established artists to realise their ambitions, creates meaningful encounters between artists and audiences, and contributes to the Festival’s role as an international platform for music and the performing arts.

We welcome opportunities to develop projects where the aims of your trust or foundation align with the Festival’s artistic ambitions.
