Funding: Trusts and Foundations |
|
|
|
Trusts and foundations give away around £200 million per annum and each trust will have different criteria and objectives so it is essential that you carry out detailed research before applying. The Directory of Social Change produces a wide range of books that can be found in the reference section of your local library. Examples include:
- A Guide to the Major Trusts
- The Guide to UK Company Giving
- The Arts Funding Guide
There are also a wide range of local trusts who distribute money in a specific geographical area, for information about what opportunities there may be in your area please make use of the reference section of your local library.
A small selection of the better known trusts, funds and foundations follow.
Foundation for Sport and the Arts
The Foundation for Sport and the Arts distributes money subscribed from the Football Pools. Through the encouragement and funding of Sport and the Arts at every level, The Foundation seeks to enhance the quality of life for the community generally. The pursuit of excellence concedes first place to measures to increase participation in, and enjoyment of, Sport and the Arts by the whole community, regardless of levels of competence.
Paul Hamlyn Foundation
The Paul Hamlyn Foundation invites applications to its Small Grants Programme. The Foundation supports arts, education and charitable book publishing projects and its Small Grants Programme gives awards up to a maximum of £3,000 in support of local schemes and initiatives, normally within the main areas of interest. Applications should be for specific projects and the grant requested should represent a substantial part of the funding required. Applications are considered on a monthly basis.
Performing Right Society Foundation
The Performing Right Society Foundation was founded to encourage, promote and sustain the creation and performance of new music in all genres and at all levels. This new independent charitable foundation is a replacement for the former PRS Donations and Awards Policy. The Foundation will make available £1million per annum for the support of new music.
Francis Chagrin Fund
This fund is available to British composers, or composers resident in the UK, to help cover the costs that they have personally incurred by reproducing performance materials for unpublished works awaiting their first scheduled performance. Arrangements or revisions are not acceptable. The maximum award for any one work is £250. Awards will be given for:
- Reproduction of scores and parts (including vocal scores if appropriate) by photocopying or other reprographic means
- Covering and binding scores or parts
- Reproduction of tapes for use in performance
