Aims/priorities: This fund aims to support the two objectives of the Foundation:
- To award grants to support the development of group music-making especially involving young people, with composing central to the project.
- To support the performance or recording of works by Michael Tippett.
Who can apply? Projects taking place in or out of school, college or university, or in community settings in the UK will be considered.
Grant amount: This is a highly competitive fund with only one in nine applications being successful last year.
Grants of between £500 and £3,000 are available. The average grant is around £2,000.
Grants will be made on a one-off basis. Award of a grant in one year does not carry any probability of repeat funding the following year.
Application process: The Trustees normally hold one meeting a year, in the autumn.
Full details of how to apply can be found on the Foundation's website.
Completed applications should be submitted by email.
Deadline: Tuesday 30 September 2025
