Background
The Laura Ashley Foundation was set up in 1986, in memory of Laura Ashley, the designer, who died the year before. The Ashley family are actively involved in the day to day running of the Foundation.
The LAF is constantly reviewing funding policies. For this reason, we tend to be re-active grant givers, rather than pro-active. Very few unsolicited applications receive funding. To avoid disappointment, we suggest checking before applying.
One of our priorities is Powys and our funding criteria varies so widely that you are advised to email the Foundation with:
-
A summary of your activities and work
-
Outline of the actual project and for what specific purpose the grant is required
-
State what funds have already been raised
-
An estimate of the funding required
The office is usually open on Tuesday and Friday.
