The Barakat Trust is seeking grant applications to fund individual and institutional efforts to promote and preserve artistic culture and heritage related to the Islamic world.
While they have a long track record of supporting projects and initiatives driven by individuals, including but not limited to research trips, publications, and training opportunities, individuals applying for grants from The Barakat Trust need to identify an institution to which grant monies can be transferred on their behalf.
