What We’ve Funded: June 2023

Our Sputnik Patrons program collects monthly donations from our Patrons community and distributes it to Christian artists around the UK. Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve helped to fund, as of June 2023.

We believe arts for profit is bad for everyone. Putting money and markets at the heart of our society hollows out our common life. That’s why we raise money to give away to artists without strings attached – so they can create for the common good rather than being pressured to make what sells.

The deadline for new grant applications is 1st July; you can get your application in here already. Or why not become a Patron for as little as £5 / month?
