FAQs 1. The Foundation does not fund the commissioning of new works. 2. The Trustees are not prepared to make donations towards the costs of making recordings, either by private or commercial companies. 3. The Trustees are not as a general rule prepared to finance degree courses. Their aim is to encourage composition and research, but not to finance the acquisition of basic skills in these subjects. 4. The Trustees do not consider applications for assistance in purchasing musical instruments or equipment including the electronic or computer variety. 5. The Trustees do not make grants retrospectively. 6. The Trustees require from applicants full supporting information both with regard to the musical nature of the proposal, and with regard to the financial need which it creates. This must include: (a) Biographical details of artist and composer, or in the case of an organisation, details of activities to date. (b) All applicants must attach to each application references from two people of known national standing. References are expected to assess the musical value of the project applied for and must therefore be by people who are qualified to make such assessment; references cannot be accepted from Administrators, nor from any person who is involved with the application or the project to which it relates. Trustees of the Foundation will not act as referees. "Open" testimonials are not acceptable in this connection. (c) Financial information should include a detailed breakdown of estimated income as well as expenditure. (d) Applications for subsidising concert deficits must state date and location of proposed performances. 7. Applications from organisations or companies must be accompanied by a Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account for their last financial year. 8. Applicants are requested to communicate by post or email (not telephone) since the Foundation does not have a full time secretariat. 9. Applications should be made well in advance, because the Trust is a voluntary body which does not meet frequently; the review of applications takes time. 10. The Trustees' deliberations are confidential, and the reasons for their decisions cannot be disclosed. 11. Data Protection – Use of Details
