If you are involved with a project which you believe the Trust should consider supporting please e-mail the following address with details of the project: applications@khta.org.uk Generally we prefer to consider applications in the early stages of a project so please send details of your project as early as possible.
Below are the Trust’s Criteria for Backing which outline the aims of the Trust and provides a guide towards to the sort of projects with which it would like to become involved. Any applications which closely match the criteria or fulfill them imgainatively will be favourably considered. You should note that the interests and motivations of the Trust are likely to be different to those of other orgainsations which provide funding in Oxford such as university or college drama societies.
Clearly other considerations will be taken into account such as the extent of Trust’s available funds, the quality of the production team and the quality of other applications.
The King’s Hall Trust for the Arts: criteria for support
General Criteria
The Trust’s priority in education in the arts. This includes both the education of would-be or emerging arts professionals and the promotion of arts participation and appreciation to the general public.
Within the range of projects that meet the above criterion, the Trust will favour projects which:
- Are unlikely to get support from other sources
- Have budgets in which the Trust can make a significant impact (our minimum share of the budget would normally be 10%)
- Will benefit groups rather than individuals
- Have clear artistic and social benefits
The Trust will endeavour to support projects based in the City of Oxford and the University of Oxford where possible and, specifically, projects from Brasenose College.
The Trust can give ‘in-kind’ support in the form of knowledge and advice as well as financial support in the from of grants and backing.
In the event of several applications of equal quality the Trust may choose to select several which represent a wide range of arts activities and/or beneficiary groups.
Criteria for specific types of project
Projects with a potential income:
- As long as it is run on a not-for-profit basis, project with a potential income, such as a ticketed event or a book that can be sold, will normally be given backing rather than a grant, though a grant may sometimes be given to an aspect of the project which can be treated separately, such as paying the transport costs for a school party attending the event.
- A commercial project will not normally be backed
- A profit-share project will not normally be backed, although if individuals involved have backed the project alongside the Trust, all backers are equally allowed proportionally to share any potential return as well as any loss.
Projects benefiting individuals:
- A project solely benefiting an individual, including costs of training, will not normally be supported, although an aspect of the project which can be treated separately and where the grant can pay for a specific benefit, such as paying for printing costs for a book that will enable others to share what the individual has learned, will be more likely to receive a grant.
- A group project through which individuals may benefit, such as a competition with prizes, is subject to the same restrictions as a project solely benefiting an individual. This does not affect the right of the Trust may organise, promote and run competitions of its own.
Disclaimer
These criteria are guidelines only. The Trustees reserve the right to make a final decisions as a group or by electing an officer to decide on their behalf, according to their interpretation of Trust’s aims as agreed by the Charity Commission.
