- The Genesis Foundation, a UK-registered charity, was established by John Studzinski in 2001. Over the past 21 years, the Foundation has donated more than £20 million to the arts. Through its funding and partnership model, it has enabled opportunities for thousands of young artists, primarily in theatre and music, building both their experience and their resilience. Cross-disciplinary networking and mentoring are inherent to the Genesis Foundation and crucial to its work. The Foundation’s main focus is on partnerships with leading arts organisations such as the Almeida Theatre, National Theatre, Young Vic Theatre, The Sixteen, and Jewish Book Week. While largely devoting its regular funding to training programmes that equip emerging artists for life as a creative professional, the Genesis Foundation has also become the UK’s largest commissioner of sacred music, having commissioned 30 new choral works to date. In 2020, the Genesis Foundation launched the Covid-19 Artists Fund, an emergency response to help freelancers facing hardship, and the £1 million Genesis Kickstart Fund to provide grants for future-facing arts projects across the UK, all employing outstanding freelance creative talent.
