The Ev4Ev Fundraising Campaign

The new Everyman was funded thanks to £16.8m of public funding by the National Lottery from Arts Council England, £5.9m from the European Regional Development Fund and £2.5m from the Northwest Regional Development Agency.

Over £1.9m of private funding was secured from the Backstage Trust, the Foyle Foundation, the Garfield Weston Foundation, the J Paul Getty Jnr Charitable Trust, the Granada Foundation, the Hemby Trust, the JP Jacobs Charitable Trust, the Monument Trust, the Oglesby Charitable Trust, the Oliver Stanley Charitable Trust, the Peter Johnson Foundation, the Wolfson Foundation and from over 1,100 individual donors (see gallery below), many of whom named a seat in the new theatre.

Alongside fundraising for the building, we also worked to establish a £500,000 Talent Fund, to invest in new artists and new ideas in the years ahead. The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation has provided £250,000 challenge funding, matching pound for pound the donations of our individual supporters. We thank them all from the bottom of our hearts.

Thank You
