About The Copland Foundation
The Copland Foundation was established from the legacy of the late Alexander
Ewart Copland. Throughout his life Alex was an avid collector, with a special
interest in historic houses and their contents. When Alex died, several
significant pieces from his collection were gifted to museums
and other public collections while the bulk of the estate was sold. The Copland
Foundation was established with the proceeds of these sales.
The Copland Foundation supports individuals and institutions within Australia
operating in fields that were important to Alex Copland. These fields include
conservation, historic house museums, fine and decorative art museums, science
museums and libraries. As well as providing grants for
suitable projects within these fields, the Copland
Foundation Attingham Scholarship will enable one Australian each year
to travel to the United Kingdom and attend a course of study run by The
Attingham Trust. More information is available on specific pages within this
website.
The Copland Foundation can be contacted via email or at PO Box 173, Ashburton,
Victoria, 3147.
