Overview
Applications by eligible organisations can be made through the BRIT Trust website or in some cases via other referrals.
The BRIT Trust considers all applications from registered charities.
Applications must meet the criteria within its mission statement: "improving lives through the power of music and the creative arts”.
The Trust’s Grant Committee will review applications in light of its mission and the strength of the case being made, while also taking into account its long-term and other existing commitments and any grant-making priorities the Trustees may decide upon at any given time.
The application form can be downloaded from the Trust's website and applicants must set out:
- full details about the organisation and its grant request;
- the rationale and aims for any planned activity that a grant would enable;
- a detailed description of the expected benefits, including how likely these are to be forthcoming and in what way they will be achieved.
Additionally, the form asks for:
- Endorser: Where applicable (or known) please list out any connection or relationship with indviduals working in the UK music industry.
- Diversity, Equality & Inclusion: Please attach your organisation’s formal DEI policy (if you have one) and provide a brief summary of your organisation’s approach to this important area of work. They require beneficiaries of BRIT Trust funding to actively promote and encourage diversity & inclusion within their organisation and to have a diversity and inclusion policy and/or be working towards implementing diversity and inclusion initiatives.
