Figurative is a charity based at Somerset House. We offer flexible loans of £150k–£1m to socially-driven arts and cultural organisations across the UK; encourage philanthropic giving to the creative sector; and help organisations develop their impact practice, so we can all better understand and articulate the difference we make as a sector.
Our investment, philanthropy and impact teams will be available on Wednesday 6th May for informal 20-minute one-to-one chats, in person or virtually at our Open House day.
Whether you’re curious about repayable finance, exploring your funding options, looking to strengthen your work with philanthropists, or simply want to learn more about our funding – we’d love to talk.
Come and meet us to:
- Talk to the investment team to see whether repayable finance could support your strategic plans alongside other methods of funding
- Connect with the philanthropy team to explore how to attract and retain philanthropic supporters
- Speak to our impact team to find out more about we can help your organisation understand, measure and articulate its impact
Open to board members, CEOs, finance and development directors and fundraising consultants. We welcome a wide range of creative and cultural organisations – from theatre and dance companies, museums and galleries to music venues and artists’ workspaces.
