Applicant groups must be registered as charities as defined by the Law of Scotland.

The Trust has four priority areas which are:

• Health
• Care
• Education and Training
• Community Arts & Sport
These priority areas account for approx two thirds of the Trust’s expenditure each year but applications will be considered from most other areas of charitable activity including:
• work with children, young people and families
• preservation of the environment
• the strengthening of local communities
• the development of culture, heritage and science
• animal welfare
• the saving of lives

Overall priority will be given to those projects and posts which relate to direct service delivery.

There are no minimum or maximum donations. The Trust does operate a small grant scheme for smaller charities to apply for one-off donations of up to £5,000 to support a particular project or activity.

Main donations comprise revenue donations in excess of £5,000 and capital donations of between £10,000 and £100,000. Revenue grants rarely exceed £15,000 a year and may be for core or project funding for a maximum initial period of 3 years.>/p>
