Split Infinitive Trust

Sadly, due to financial constraints caused by the global pandemic, Split Infinitive Trust has had to pause grant-giving activities at this time. We intend to resume once the situation has eased, and ask that those seeking grant funding check back every couple of months for updates to this statement. Any urgent enquiries can still be emailed to spli... tinfin@haydonning.co.uk, but please note that this mailbox is only checked once a week and non-urgent enquiries will be ignored until we return to fuller operations. The Trust's main area of interest is in supporting live and performance arts, in general and in education. Applications with a Yorkshire or regional focus are favoured. Split Infinitive is a small trust with limited funds to distribute annually. Average grants fall between £200 and £400 and are at the trustees discretion. They may be awarded to individuals or to organisations for specific projects. Grants for general running costs, for projects outside the UK, and charities seeking funds for their own grant disbursement, will not be eligible for support. At the current time, the Trusts efforts are focused on supporting students; the trustees feel it only fair to acknowledge that, given the increasing number of applications being received, worthwhile projects which meet the main remit may have to be declined in favour of the Trusts priority area. In terms of student applications, the Trust favours supporting performance arts courses (eg; music, drama, dance) although it may consider other arts areas. If your arts course is not strictly within these categories please check with us first to see if your course might be eligible. Also note that repeat grants are rare and although previous recipients are welcome to re-apply, the fact of a previous grant is no guarantee of a future one.
