We are a small charitable trust and have limited capacity to award new grants each year. Some of the projects we fund come to us through our existing networks. However, we always welcome approaches from high quality applicants who are delivering work in line with the Trust’s objectives.

Take a look at the examples of grants we have already awarded and read our Grant Guidelines and FAQs carefully.

In order to apply you should first of all complete our eligibility checks, but before doing so please visit the homepage to see if we are currently inviting applications. If we are open to new applications, and you are satisfied that your project meets our criteria and fits our current areas of interest, please answer the questions below.

You are NOT eligible to apply
Unfortunately your organisation or grant request does not meet the requirements of Scops Art Trust's grant-making policy so you will be unable to submit an application. We hope you are successful in securing the funds you need from other sources.
