Jerwood Foundation

The Jerwood Foundation is a major United Kingdom funder of arts, education, and science.

The foundation is particularly noted in the arts for establishing the Jerwood Charitable Foundation and associated projects such as the Jerwood Space for dance and exhibitions, the Jerwood Painting Prize, the Jerwood Drawing Prize, the Jerwood Sculpture Prize and the Royal Society of Literature Jerwood Awards for Non-Fiction. Musical projects include the ENO Jerwood Young Singers Programme. Other sponsorships include film and photography conservation at the British Library, and the Wapping Project for choreography.

In 1998, the Jerwood Foundation gave £3 million to the Royal Court Theatre to avert the threat of bankruptcy.^[1] In 2001 it donated £1 million to the Glyndebourne Opera for a new rehearsal block.^[2]

John Michael Jerwood, a pearl importer,^[1] established the Jerwood Foundation in 1977. Since his death in 1991 it has been administered by its Chairman, Alan Grieve (appointed CBE for services to the arts in 2003).
