Scops Art Trust is offering grants of up to £30,000 to registered charities, and other constituted, not-for-profit organisations, to deliver projects that help people to understand, participate in, and enjoy the arts, particularly the performing arts (music, drama, opera, and dance).

Priority will be given to small-to-medium-sized organisations. Most grants will be awarded for specific projects, but the Trust will also contribute towards the core costs of smaller organisations where a grant could make an impact.

Both one-off and multi-year grants will be considered. There is a two-stage application process. Groups must first complete an eligibility check before being invited to submit a Stage 1 application.
