St Paul's Cathedral Foundation

St Paul's Cathedral Foundation, established in 2020 as a charitable subsidiary of St Paul's Cathedral in London, exists to raise funds for the Cathedral's maintenance and repair while advancing its theological and educational activities, music and music education, and role as a diocesan, national, and international spiritual landmark. Rooted in values of stewardship, inclusivity, and public benefit, it safeguards the iconic Wren-designed building for future generations, enhancing its liturgical life, accessibility, and cultural impact through a distinctive integration with the Cathedral's governance and operations.

The Foundation prioritises capital projects for preservation and restoration, music scholarships and programmes, educational outreach, theological initiatives, and community events that promote heritage, arts, and engagement. Beneficiaries include the general public, affiliated charities, voluntary bodies, and organisations in education, heritage, and the arts, all tied directly to the Cathedral's activities for sustainability and enrichment.

It does not accept unsolicited applications or fund external entities, with no specified eligibility for legal status, income thresholds, or geographic areas beyond St Paul's Cathedral itself. Funding decisions occur internally via Cathedral planning cycles, without public deadlines, application processes, or typical grant ranges for outsiders—recent allocations for major works exceed £100,000 but support only Cathedral-led efforts.

Exclusively internal and non-competitive, the Foundation avoids core costs, unrestricted grants, or capacity building for external groups, setting it apart as a highly specialised steward of one of the UK's most treasured landmarks, blending physical conservation with vibrant cultural and spiritual programming.
