Katherine McGillivray's Get a Life Fund

Guidelines for Applicants

Katherine McGillivray’s Get a Life Fund is a charitable trust registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, registered charity no. 1117589.

The fund is designed to be a part of your financing for a project; it should not be the only source of support. Therefore you will be expected to demonstrate that you are able to meet the other costs.

Am I eligible to apply for a grant from the Fund?	You must be a professional musician who is over the age of thirty and is a native of the United Kingdom or Eire, or is resident in those countries.
How might the Fund help me?	If you meet the above criteria, it could help you to take forward your personal and musical development, in ways not normally possible within your career structure.
What timescale does the Fund envisage for this development?	The Fund will only give you help to undertake a project that would involve a sabbatical or extended period of time away from your usual employment. This would normally be between six months and a year, but the trustees would be willing to consider other periods of time.
How much might be available to me?	You can apply for a grant of up to £10,000. This would be a one-off grant and you would not be eligible to apply again.
How many grants does the Fund offer?	The Fund aims to award two grants each year.
