THE FIDELIO TRUST

The Fidelio Trust welcomes applications in support of the Arts, in particular the dramatic and operatic arts, music, speech and dance. It particularly welcomes applications from organisations or individuals at an early stage of their development.
Proposed grantees must be in real need of financial support and be particularly able and/or gifted.
Grants may be awarded to enable individuals or groups of exceptional ability to: 
o Receive special tuition or coaching, e.g. in the case of musicians, to attend Master Classes;
o Participate in external competitions;
o Be supported for a specially arranged performance; and/or
o Receive support for a special publication, musical composition or work of art.
Grants of up to £5,000 are available. The Trust welcomes a match funding contribution as it’s charitable expenditure is limited to around £100,000 per annum.
Applications are accepted on behalf of individuals and groups who are practitioners or performers in the Arts as well as institutions and colleges providing opportunities for those studying, practicing or performing.
Proposed grantees must be recommended by an appropriate person in an institution, college, arts festival or similar organisation that can vouch for the abilities of the applicant.
There is no nationality restriction and the work for which money is sought may be overseas but the proposed recipient(s) must be based in the UK.
The person representing the recommending institution or organisation must vouch for the competence and skill of those for whom they are applying to Fidelio and state how they were selected. They should explain their professional relationship with the individual or group, and describe accurately the project or activity for which money is required.
The annual deadlines for receipt of applications are:
o 1st February;
o 1st June; and
o 1st October.
