The Finnis Scott Foundation Grant

The Finnis Scott Foundation offers grants to registered charities working in horticulture and related fields. The Foundation makes one-off grants typically up to £10,000, with most current grants being £5,000 or less. Exceptionally, when funds permit, grants of up to £60,000 are made, payable over several years. The Trustees are particularly keen to support horticultural training through bursaries and apprenticeships, with applications submitted by sponsoring institutions rather than individuals. The Foundation only makes grants to charities registered at the Charity Commission. Applications from mainstream schools are not accepted, but SEND/Special Schools may apply through their registered charity. Grants are not offered for covering salary commitments (except for horticultural traineeships/apprenticeships), nor for expenditure already incurred.
