Dr Radcliffe's Trust

About Dr Radcliffe's Trust

Dr Radcliffe's Trust supports UK-based projects that preserve and develop classical music, heritage, and traditional crafts, with a strong emphasis on training, skills transfer, and opportunities for emerging practitioners. Its music funding often goes to chamber music, composition, music education, and therapeutic or special-needs music work, while its heritage/crafts funding backs apprenticeships, conservation, technical training, and the continuation of endangered craft skills. Grants are typically modest and project-specific, making the Trust a good fit for organizations seeking targeted support for training, production, or skills-building initiatives rather than unrestricted core funding.
