The Sherborne House Endowment Fund

Now that Dorset County Council have stated that they intend to offer a long lease of Sherborne House to the Sherborne House Trust, the future of the House as a Regional Centre for the Visual Arts is looking much more secure. Enough money should be generated by development of some of the back land to fund essential repairs and to put the House in order.The Trust will then be applying for capital grants to fund Phase 2 which will include the sculpture garden and housing the Frink archive. Many enterprises, however, even if they have raised capital funding, fail because they cannot generate sufficient income. They are then dependent on grants from outside bodies to survive.

 

We are determined that Sherborne House will be essentially self-supporting, generating income from the Arts Programme and the other activities that will increase in range and number after the house is restored. To help maintain an adequate income the Friends of Sherborne House have established The Sherborne House Endowment Fund.

Money donated is placed in a dedicated investment sub-account administered by the Friends. The interest from this will be available as income to the Sherborne House Trust.

You can donate now by pressing the magic button below. Please help us to secure the future of Sherborne House with its Thornhill Mural. Thank you in anticipation.
