Our Funding and Funders
As a publisher, the Lund Humphries Foundation for Visual Arts operates a non-profit model, fundraising to support the upfront production costs of new books published under the Lund Humphries imprint. These costs include: project development, copy-editing, proof-reading and indexing, design and repro, printing and binding. The net income from book sales is applied to offset our operating costs.
Our general overheads are supported by a generous grant from the Estelle Trust.
We seek funding for book projects from a variety of sources, including donations from individuals and organisations, grants from trusts and foundations, and crowdfunding campaigns. Support for new books can also take the form of an upfront bulk purchase of copies. Individual donations to the Foundation from UK tax-payers are eligible for Gift Aid and donations from companies may be eligible for tax relief.
We are grateful to the following for their financial support of new publishing projects in 2026:
- Sainsbury Centre, Norwich

- Lyon & Turnbull
- The MAAK Foundation
- Clare Hall, University of Cambridge
