The Julia Rausing Sky Arts Bursaries is the Foundation’s inaugural programme, funded by The Julia Rausing Trust, one of the UK’s largest philanthropic foundations, and delivered in partnership with Sky Arts. As a Trustee of the newly created Sky Foundation I’m delighted that the first programme will support such an important cause through the Julia Rausing Sky Arts Bursaries, funded by The Julia Rausing Trust.
