The BRIT Trust welcomes applications for grant funding consistent with its mission of "improving lives through the power of music and the creative arts”.
The BRIT Trust was established in 1989 by UK record labels with the BPI and the wider music community. Its founding mission was to draw on the transformative power of music and the arts to do good and to enable positive life pathways for young people of all backgrounds – recognising that this can best be achieved by embracing accessibility, diversity and inclusion as key values.
Funded largely by monies raised each year by The BRITAwards and the Music Industry Trusts Award (MITS), The BRIT Trust has to date made more than 280 grant commitments totalling almost £30 million to a wide range of causes and charities across the UK that inspire people to realise their full potential and life chances, whatever their abilities, ethnicity, gender and sexuality.
Applications by eligible organisations can be made through the BRIT Trust website. We ask that the applicant organisation is a registered charity.
