Acorn Funds
Acorn Funds enable you to -grow- an endowed Fund over a number of years
You can name your Fund after yourself, a family member or friend. It is up to you to decide what causes you want to support.
On setting up the Andrew and Charlotte Dixon Fund, Andrew commented: “At Northern Arts an artist came to us 15 years ago and said he wanted to plant 1,000 Acorns in an artistic pattern around Newcastle. The project was to create a sculpture but we might not see its full impact for 100 years. I always regretted that we didn’t invest in the artist’s acorns but the image has stayed with me. Now I am planting my own.”
On maturing, the Fund will be used to support the arts and culture.
- An Acorn Fund starts at £1,000 a year.
