What it funds
Who can apply — in their words
Applicants must be based in the United Kingdom. Applications may come from individuals, organisations, or charities. Projects must focus on the performance, commissioning (with confirmed performance) and/or recording of contemporary music. The Hinrichsen Foundation rarely supports applications where it is the sole funder of the work. Applications for research or composer competition funding will not be considered. Applications from undergraduates will not be accepted. The Trustees do not reconsider applications that have previously been unsuccessful.
Applying
Applications are taken in dated rounds, not year-round — the dates below are the ones they publish.
