Grant News
Grants of up to £10,000 are available to UK-registered charities for projects involving horticulture, plant sciences, fine art and art history through the Finnis Scott Foundation. Most awards are currently £5,000 or less.
The Foundation, established in 2006, supports charitable activities reflecting its founders’ interests in gardening and art. Funding is available for capital and revenue projects, with preference given to smaller charities.
Eligible activities include horticultural training, apprenticeships, bursaries and the exhibition, conservation and study of historical art. Applications for bursaries and apprenticeships must be submitted through a sponsoring institution.
Community interest companies and mainstream schools are excluded, although applications from special schools through registered charities may be considered. Funding is not available for existing salary commitments, except horticultural traineeships and apprenticeships, or expenditure already incurred.
