Grants for the performance, commissioning and recording of contemporary and experimental music in the UK.

Projects must focus on the performance, commissioning (with confirmed performance) and/or recording of contemporary music.

Applications for Project Grants should:

• Applicants must be based in the United Kingdom. Priority will be given to projects involving composers and activity based in the UK, though activity does not have to solely take place in the UK.
• Applications may come from individuals, organisations, or charities.
• Links to the requested supporting information must be active and accessible to Trustees. Broken or password-protected links may disadvantage your application or result in it being rendered ineligible.
• The Foundation rarely supports applications where it is the sole funder of the work. Applicants are expected to indicate another source of income (either secured or projected e.g. ticket sales).
• Applications for research or composer competition funding will not be considered.
• Applications from undergraduates will not be accepted.
• The Trustees do not reconsider applications that have previously been unsuccessful.
