The Hinrichsen Foundation provides funds to support projects that see contemporary music being published, recorded or commissioned and are able to support individuals, community groups or charities.
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.
The application process is completed via an online form which you can find on the website, along with their upcoming deadlines (of which there are usually four a year) and further information on the required information for applications.
As well as completing the online application form applicants need to provide supporting information about the proposal, details of the grant being requested and independent and professional references. The Hinrichsen 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).
Grant Types:
- One-off project grants (applications accepted at September, December, and
March rounds) – Generally range from £500 to £3,000. - Multi-year partnerships (applications accepted at May round only – Application guidance will be released approximately 3 months before the deadline, but this strand of funding is designed to support partnerships to develop longer-term and strategic goals.
