Funding for Contemporary Music Projects from Hinrichsen Foundation
The Hinrichsen Foundation is offering grants to charities and other UK-based organisations to support the performance of contemporary music, including the commissioning of new work, non-commercial recording, or publication.

There are two levels of funding available:
  • One-off small grants (for new applicants and former beneficiaries).
  • Grants for Larger projects or concert series.
The Trustees will occasionally provide funds for research projects that are not being conducted under the remit of an academic institution, and multi-year partnerships may also be considered.

The next deadline for applications is 31st August 2024, with further dates to be announced.

More information and how to apply can be found at the Foundation’s website.

The Jerwood Foundation Funding Programme
Grants from the Jerwood Foundation are available for UK arts-based organisations for activities and projects that support the promotion of the arts for public health.

The Jerwood Foundation was recently established as a grant-making charity after merging with the Jerwood Charity (more commonly referred to as Jerwood Arts).

Many of the trustees of the new Foundation were also trustees of the Jerwood Charity, and the Foundation is expected to continue Jerwood Charity’s role as a leading independent funder dedicated to supporting outstanding UK arts and crafts organisations
develop and thrive.

Recently relaunched, the next deadline for applications is Friday 15th June 2024 with further dates to be announced later in the year.
