Scops Art Trust is offering grants of up to £30,000 to registered charities, and other constituted, not-for-profit organisations across the UK, to deliver projects and activities that help people to understand, participate in, and enjoy the arts, particularly the performing arts (music, drama, opera, and dance).
In 2025, the Trust will continue to focus on one area of performing arts in each grant round.
The final funding round of 2025 will focus on supporting children and young people's instrumental music education (excluding choirs). Music education and engagement projects for children will be considered at every grant round.
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.
The deadline for stage 1 applications is 9 December 2025.
