Grants up to £5,000 (though can be more) for the promotion and maintenance to a high standard of choral services in England, Wales and Ireland.
Currently the Trustees’ policy is to make grants in the following areas:
- Courses for individuals or groups.
- Grants for musicians, scholarships, bursaries, or choral developmental projects.
- Fees for individual choristers having places at recognised choir schools.
- Travel and other expenses for individual choristers at cathedrals and choral foundations.
- Purchase of liturgical music.
- Other projects (eg outreach) of an innovative kind that are likely to further the Trust’s object in a direct and effective way. In exceptional circumstances, these may include music commissions. In every case, the project must have a direct bearing on the promotion and maintenance of a high standard of choral services.
The Trustees meet twice in each year - usually in March and October with deadlines in February and June.
All applications, including those made on behalf of an individual, must be submitted by a church, college, school, or other institution.
