Our Aims
We are charged with making grants, donations or gifts to individuals and organisations who share our ambitions. Our key focus areas for supporting artists are:
- Funded residencies in the artist studios at Marchmont House.
- Selected support within the creativity community in the Scottish Borders.
We are currently exploring partnerships with Visual Arts Scotland and The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland amongst others, but we are keen to establish links with charities using creativity to further their cause within the Scottish Borders and welcome approaches from like-minded organisations.
Apply for a Grant
We will seek open calls for our residency opportunities at Marchmont House, which are currently our main focus.
We have a limited annual budget and so cannot assure you of support, but we hope to grow in our funds to deploy in coming years, both through corporate partnerships and through our own resources.

Persuasion – Inspiration – Purpose
Our ultimate goal, as part of the Marchmont family, is to support sustainable creativity, so we also value entrepreneurial flair and the ability for the individuals and enterprises we support to stand on their own two feet.
