The focus for grant awards from this Trust include arts, community and small charities.

It favours requests that are below £10,000 and revenue proposals over capital requests.

Funding is generally awarded for one-off projects but they may consider funding over up to three years if a project requires it.

They are keen to fund good small scale arts and community projects and welcome proposals from community museums, organisations, farms and gardens for funding for arts subjects.

Applications are accepted all year round and funding awards are made three times per year following the meeting of the Board of Trustees.

The next funding round will be in February/March 2022 and the application deadline is likely to be in December 2021.

Applicants are recommended to read the Trust’s funding criteria and speak to them before applying.
