The Hinrichsen Foundation is offering grants to charities and other organisations across the United Kingdom to support the performance of contemporary music, which may include the commissioning of new work, non-commercial recording, or even publication.

There are two levels of funding available:
• One-off small grants typically between £500 and £2,500 (for new applicants and former beneficiaries).
• Larger projects or concert series generally £2,000 and over.

The Trustees are principally concerned with providing support for the performance of contemporary music, which may include commissioning of new work, non-commercial recording or even publication. They will occasionally provide funds for research projects not being conducted under the aegis of an academic institution. In all cases, the Trustees need to be convinced that their support will have a significant bearing on the viability of the project in question.
