It goes without saying that we couldn’t do what we do without the amazing and immense support of our principal funders, partners, donors, audience members and well-wishers. Your continued support has meant we have been able to reach out, share and unite people from all backgrounds up and down the UK for 30+ years through the power of the arts. Here’s to the next 30 and beyond!
Principal Funders
We gratefully acknowledge the support of our principal supporters and funders, who enable us to invest our time and efforts into making a difference to people’s lives.
Milap is proud to be part of Arts Council England’s National Portfolio Programme (NPO), which consists of a rich variety of organisations across England, reflecting the quality and excellence of the arts in England and shaped by shared goals set out their strategic framework. Many of Milap’s key initiatives are supported by ACE, including our orchestras (SAMYO and Tarang), much of our main performance, and professional development work for Artists.
“Arts Council England champions, develops and invests in artistic and cultural experiences that enrich people’s lives. Great art and culture inspires us, brings us together and teaches us about ourselves and the world around us. In short, it makes life better. “ Extract from www.artscouncil.org.uk
Milap is supported by funding from its home city of Liverpool via Liverpool City Council’s / Culture Liverpool’s Culture & Arts Investment Programme (CAIP). The support we have received via CAIP over many years has enabled us to bring a world class year-round Indian arts and education programme to Liverpool, establishing the city as a renowned global hub for Indian arts activity. Audiences in Liverpool have been introduced to the very best of what Indian arts and culture has to offer via Milap which has ultimately helped to build awareness, spark interest and curiosity, develop talent and create life-long fans of Indian music and dance.
The CAIP scheme has had a major positive impact on the City, and has contributed to a vibrant cultural offer, particularly in terms of visitor numbers, leveraged funding and community participation.” From Liverpool City Council www.liverpool.gov.uk
