Formation

After her father's death in 1979, Duffield assumed the Chairmanship of the Clore Foundation in the UK and in Israel. In the UK she also established her own Vivien Duffield Foundation in 1987, and the two foundations merged in 2000.[2]

Museums and galleries

The Foundation has supported a wide range of organisations including the Royal Opera House, Tate, the Royal Ballet, the British Museum, the Natural History Museum, Dulwich Picture Gallery, the Southbank Centre, the Tower of David Museum in Jerusalem, Israel and Eureka! The National Children's Museum. The Foundation has made a particular contribution to cultural education, having funded dozens of Clore Learning Centres across the UK, and to leadership training, having launched the Clore Leadership Programme for the cultural sector in 2003 and the Clore Social Leadership Programme in 2008.[3]

JW3

The Foundation initiated and provided most of the funding for the JW3 Jewish cultural centre in London.[4]

Leadership Programme

The Clore Leadership Programme provides professional training and personal development for British professionals in the cultural sector. It was founded in 2002.[5]

Each year around 25 Clore Fellows are selected for a seven to eight month training programme in fundraising, media training, financial planning, and personal development. They also participate in extended secondments to organisations outside their previous professional experiences. Each Fellowship is individually tailored and the each Fellow receives support by a Mentor and individual coaching.

In addition, each Fellow can submit a proposal to undertake research once they have completed their Fellowship, which is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and supervised by a Higher Education Institute.

Since 2006, the Programme has also offered short courses to a greater number of participants which capture a lot of the Clore experience in an intensive two-week residential course. It also offers training for members of Boards of Directors of cultural organisations.

Leadership

The founding Director of the Clore Leadership Programme was Chris Smith, who from 1997 to 2001 had been Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport. In July 2008 he was succeeded as Director by Sue Hoyle. The current Chair is Sir John Tusa. Hilary S Carty has served as Executive Director of the programme since September 2017.[6]
