The Clore Duffield Foundation has awarded grants totaling £30 million ($38.2 million) in support of arts, culture, and education across the United Kingdom, BroadwayWorld reports.

The funding is in celebration of the Clore Foundation’s 60th anniversary. Led by Dame Vivien Duffield, the foundation—which merged with the Duffield Foundation in 2000—was established in 1964 by her father, Sir Charles Clore, a financier who once owned the iconic Selfridges department store chain.

Grants were awarded for new Clore Learning Spaces at Kensington Palace, the Natural History Museum, Paisley Museum, Theatr Clwyd, and Garsington Opera as well as a teaching fellowship program that will operate in tandem with the learning spaces network; a pilot project to develop a new approach to arts education in partnership with ARK Schools; a school field trip program for young students to visit the Scottish Royal Conservatoire; and a national theater and performing arts program on Saturdays for youth ages 13 to 16 from underserved communities. In addition, a grant to Tate Britain will fund development of the new Clore Garden and green space, part of the museum’s Milbank Gardens. Specific grant amounts were not disclosed.

“I have always had a commitment to supporting children’s engagement with the arts and heritage. It’s what I was given as a child in France, and it’s what all children and young people should have access to,” said by Dame Duffield. “Now more than ever, I believe that culture should be at the heart of our children’s learning.”
