Promotes, develops and ensures the practice and enjoyment of the arts, including the visual and performing arts, literature and heritage and works to support the arts sector.

The open window periods for Small Grants Fund Rounds in 2024 are:
September 23rd to October 4th

The Foundation promotes, develops and ensures the practice and enjoyment of the arts, including the visual and performing arts, literature and heritage and works to support the arts sector, particularly in Scotland, which is under great pressure during the Covid-19 crisis.

Non-profit organisations can apply for funding to help with running costs and capital funding. Individuals can apply for support with fees for short courses and teaching aids for arts projects in schools and the community. Organisations based in Scotland may apply, and projects taking place in Scotland but arranged by groups based elsewhere in the United Kingdom are also welcome.

Trustees will consider applications for projects and activities that promote the advancement of the arts, heritage and culture, including (but not restricted to) promoting, developing and ensuring the practice and enjoyment of the arts, including music, the visual arts, theatre and literature.
