Aims/priorities: The aim of the Trust is to give people of all ages a better quality of life by enabling them to understand, participate in and enjoy the arts, particularly the performing arts (music, drama, opera and dance).
Who can apply? The Trust mostly supports registered charities.
Applications will also be considered from social enterprises, community groups, and other third sector organisations, as long as they are formally constituted and have clear charitable purposes.
Priority will be given to small and medium sized organisations.
Grant amount: Grant awards generally start at a few hundred pounds.
The Trust has previously awarded multi-year grants of up to £30,000 per annum, however applicants are advised that the majority of grants awarded are considerably less than this.
The Trust only awards a small number of grants each year.
Application process: The application process is as follows:
- To start the application process, organisations should first take complete the eligibility checks which can be accessed on the Scops Arts Trust website.
- Organisations that fulfill the criteria will be invited to make a Stage 1 online application.
- A Stage 2 shortlist will then be drawn up and the selected applicants will be invited to complete a Stage 2 online application form.
Deadline: Monday 24 April 2023.
