The Sidney Nolan Trust

The Trust's core activity is to build on Sidney Nolan's remarkable legacy to maintain a vibrant and thriving centre for the arts, in a rural setting. It uses its extensive collection of Nolan paintings, personal archive material and library to promote an ongoing appreciation of his work and uses this unique resource to inform its annual exhibition and educational outreach programmes.

From the charity's annual return to the Charity Commission, which asks every charity with income over £10,000 how much came from government grants and contracts. It does not say which part of government. These totals are separate from the named funders read from its accounts and the grants published on 360Giving, and are not added to them.

Funders that publish to 360Giving list 8 grants to this charity since 2018, worth at least £407,325.

Only funders that publish their grants to 360Giving are included, and many do not. These are amounts funders awarded, which can differ from what the charity received in a given year, so they are shown apart from the accounts figures above.
