Donate

Your generous contributions support the Foundation’s distinctive interdisciplinary residencies, research, education programmes and public events. As a registered UK charity, there are many ways to give to the Yinka Shonibare Foundation and its partner Guest Artists Space Foundation in Nigeria. We welcome donations from individuals, public and private funders, supporters and organisations across the globe. Whatever you are able to give, thank you. All and any capital and building costs have been funded by the artist Yinka Shonibare CBE RA.

 


 

UK Donations

If eligible, you can sign up for Gift Aid to allow us to reclaim 25p in every £1 donated, at no extra cost to you. Higher or additional rate taxpayers can also benefit from a Gift Aid rebate from HMRC through your annual tax return. (This means a Partner Patron donation of £5,000 would only cost you £3,750).

By entering yes in the Gift Aid box, in the Donate form, I confirm that I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations it is my responsibility to pay any difference

“The Foundation will provide a platform for cultural exchange between African and international artists, curators and researchers from all corners of the globe. Culture is the true vehicle for social change and here we value diversity, collaboration, mutual learning and celebrate global culture and our shared humanity.

There will be opportunities for visitors to work alongside African artists, to debate alongside them, to explore work, and leave with a completely different perspective. We are working with local communities, whilst opening doors for the next generation, equipping them to thrive not just survive.”

Yinka Shonibare CBE RA
