Support the Fellowship

Help us launch the next generation of cultural leaders.

We are seeking founding supporters to help launch the first cohort. The total cost of the first year of the Fellowship is budgeted at £30,000. Your donation will directly support Fellows through funding the Fellowship Awards and the mentor and cohort meetings that will nourish them as they take the next steps in their careers.

What your donation supports

Ultimately your donation will contribute to a flourishing future arts and culture sector — ensuring a new generation is ready to confidently grasp the mantle of leadership.

Each Fellow receives a Fellowship Award of up to £3,000 to support their artistic development and practice, alongside a primary sector-specific mentor, access to the wider mentor network, and a peer cohort for mutual support and connection.

Governance

The Imogen Kinchin Fellowship is a non-profit company limited by guarantee, funded by private donors and supporters. The long-term intention is for the company to become a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

The Fellowship is collectively owned by the Mentors as Directors of the company, with financial and company governance overseen by Kim Grant – Director of Finance and Operations at Lyric Hammersmith Theatre with Imogen – and supported by leading industry accountants, Nyman Lipson Paul.
