International Friends of the International Lyric Art Festival
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Its stated purpose fits projects that advance public education in the arts, particularly music and opera, and its work includes raising awareness among children, teenagers and adults.
- Its registered area of operation lists France and Throughout London, but the annual report does not state a geographic focus, so an applicant elsewhere should ask the funder rather than assume it is excluded.
- The annual report records £404,000 awarded in its latest year, but no grant range is stated, and the one grant named is £29,000 to the Fonds de dotation of Aix Festival, so a request sized to the project is a sensible starting point.
- No application process is published, so a short written enquiry about fit is the natural first step, and because grants are made from time to time rather than in a fixed round, the timing should be agreed with the funder directly.
