Group applications are welcomed but we can only consider one coordinated application per group project. Priority will be given to applications that demonstrate clear evidence of forward planning.

Funding can be requested up to a maximum of £2,000. Applicants should be aware that grants very rarely exceed £2,000 and more commonly are for lesser sums.

Applicants whose projects span both visual art and music should choose which fund to apply for. Please do not apply to both music and visual art.

The Trust operates a strict no repeats policy — it will not consider applications from applicants who have been successful within the last 3 years.

Money Laundering Regulations 2017: If successful, we will require photographic ID and recent proof of address (within the past 3 months). Payments are issued to the individual's full stated name, not a stage name.

Trustees meet in March, June and October. Grants support a wide range of musical genres. Preference is given to early career applicants born in or living permanently in Scotland.
