PRS for Music Foundation - What Do We Support?

What Do We Support?

In a nutshell, PRSF is looking to support music creators, performers and promoters who are involved in creatively adventurous or pioneering musical activity.

It does this by offering a wide range of funding schemes for new music activity. Below you will find a summary of the funding schemes currently offered by the PRS Foundation. The list is intended as a quick reference guide - for full details of each scheme and how to apply, please see the Application Forms section. Don't forget to read the important information notes before making your application as they will help you to put in a good quality application!

Please note that we cannot currently offer support for recordings or for individuals.

You can only apply to one scheme per calendar year, regardless of the outcome.

To discuss your application before sending it in (recommended), please call 020 7306 4044 or email James or Eleanor in the Applications department.
