We typically award one-off grants of £10,000-£100,000, though exceptionally we will offer up to £100,000 per annum for a maximum of three years. We assess the size of grants relative to the applicants’ overall turnover and to our available resources.
We are lean and focused, applying maximum resources to charitable purposes, and we expect the same of grant recipients. We want to see that funded organisations are well governed and managed, that they have good finance and risk management systems and that they have the necessary skills and expertise to deliver their objectives.
We consider applications for emergency funding only exceptionally and where we are satisfied that robust management structures are in place to ensure that our funding generates long-term value.
We fund specific initiatives and projects rather than providing unrestricted funding.
Please note that we do not consider applications:

The Vinehill Trust was established in January 2024. Details of grants awarded since then can be reviewed here or in our annual reports and accounts, which once published will be available to view on the Register of Charities.
The Vinehill Trust also funds several major existing programmes, including the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Commonwealth Heritage Skills Training Programme and the National Schools Singing Programme.
The illustrations on this website were specially commissioned by the Vinehill Trust from the distinguished artist and illustrator John Broadley to represent our three areas of special interest: music, heritage and health.
