Grants to Promote Contemporary and Experimental Music

Grants ranging from £500 to £3,000 are available to charities, not-for-profit organisations, and individuals across the UK for projects that focus on the performance, commissioning, or recording of contemporary and experimental music.

Provided by the Hinrichsen Foundation, this funding supports initiatives that enhance the understanding and appreciation of contemporary music.

Projects that take artistic risks, promote diversity, prioritise sustainability, or are led by composers or artists are especially encouraged. The Foundation also welcomes work that involves collaboration across artforms and disciplines.

Applications that include a degree of matched funding are likely to be viewed more favourably.

The deadline for applications is 5pm on the 5th September 2025.

Multi-year partnerships are considered in the May funding round.
