The Jerwood Foundation has announced the launch of its Blue Sky Fund, a £1m donation to the Theatre Artists Fund and Help Musicians.
The donation will fund small grants for freelancers in the arts who are unable to secure other forms of financial support during the Covid pandemic and, as a result, are suffering significant hardship.
The Theatre Artists Fund was set up last year with the express purpose of providing emergency support for theatre professionals.
Help Musicians is an independent charity supporting professional musicians at crucial stages of their careers and in times of crisis
Both organisations will administer the distribution of the Blue Sky Fund.
