The application process

Please complete the short form below .
Funds are normally allocated as part of an annual budget cycle which makes a decision during the winter for the allocation of grants for our financial year beginning April 1st. Our Trustees meet twice a year to discuss applications so it is best (but not essential) to make your application by September for the following year.
We will respond to all applications, wether you are successful or not.

If you are successful

Successful applicants are asked to credit the Ronnie Duncan Art Foundation (logo will be provided) and track progress and report back to the foundation after the grant has been used in full.
