Small grants are available to voluntary sector organisations in the UK for projects that promote fine arts and music.

The foundation’s objective is “to promote, maintain, improve and advance the education of the public in the arts generally, and in particular, the fine arts and music.”

Grants awarded are usually in the range of £250 to £3,000. 

The trustees favour applications from arts organisations whose raison d’être is the art form itself, and its perfection or excellence in performance.​

Additionally where applications concern young people, the trustees are interested in a long-lasting connection between them and the art, rather than a project offering little scope for further involvement.​

The Trustees meet quarterly in early March, June, September and December. All applications must be sent to the Administrator at the registered office, at least one month before the month of the trustees meeting.

The deadlines to submit are, therefore, early February, May, August and November in advance of the meetings.
