Health & Social Welfare Funding from The Artemis Charitable Foundation
Grants available from the Artemis Charitable Foundation are designed to support UK-registered charities working in the UK and internationally in the areas of:

• Health
• Poverty
• Education, and
• The Environment.

The Foundation advises where they normally make one-off awards, they could consider multi-year grants when a successful partnership is established.

They also advise that the award amounts can increase if a successful partnership develops into a multi-year relationship, and that unrestricted funding could also be considered.
