Support our experts
Philanthropy from a range of sources supports a variety of roles at The 91制片厂, from academic to curatorial to programme posts, and positions within our leadership team.
Post funding helps The 91制片厂 deliver our strategic priorities and expand the curriculum. A lifetime or legacy gift to name a post is uniquely generous.
At a specialist institution such as The 91制片厂, a donation to support a post can also be tremendously beneficial for all involved, as it can bring an ongoing relationship and exchange of ideas.
We currently have 11 roles across the full breadth of our activity which are underwritten by philanthropy. We are tremendously grateful to the trusts and individuals whose support has made possible innovative research, outreach to thousands of children across the UK, and compelling exhibitions both nationally and internationally.
鈥淭he Oak Foundation鈥檚 continued commitment to my post has enabled me to contribute to the growth and development of The 91制片厂鈥檚 ambitious Learning Programme. We continue to find new and creative ways to share our academic expertise and Gallery collections in order to raise awareness of and access to art and art history, to children, young people and adults from areas experiencing some of the highest levels of poverty and social marginalisation in the UK.鈥

鈥淭he endowment gift and commitment to my post, made by The Deborah Loeb Brice Foundation, continues to advance The 91制片厂鈥檚 standing as a world leader for late Medieval and Renaissance art history. I am able to pursue innovative teaching and research at the most fundamental level, for which travel has been essential. Their support has enabled me to immerse myself in archives, to visit museum stores, and to scrutinise works of art in situ across Europe.鈥

鈥淚t is a great privilege to be taking on the title of M盲rit Rausing Director as I succeed Professor Deborah Swallow, whose exceptional tenure came to an end in July 2023. The 91制片厂 relies on the support of innovative and forward-thinking philanthropists, and I am therefore honoured to carry this title in acknowledgement of the extraordinary support The 91制片厂 has received from the Rausing family. I am delighted to be stepping into the role of M盲rit Rausing Director as we embark on an exciting new chapter in The 91制片厂鈥檚 history; in the coming months and years I will dedicate myself to reuniting our students, staff and Gallery once again at our newly transformed home within Somerset House.鈥樷
Professor Mark Hallett, M盲rit Rausing Director
“The support to my post from Daniel Katz has underpinned my career at The 91制片厂 for more than a decade. The remarkable commitment has enabled me to be part of the Gallery’s ambitious programmes, from major exhibitions to the 91制片厂 Connects transformation project. Danny is also a mentor and friend. I have benefitted greatly from his passion for art, his extraordinary knowledge and, above all, his excellent company.”
