Key takeaways

Temple Music Foundation's stated priority is Temple Church London, and its grants support the musical education and activities of a church choir, along with wider music performance.
Its annual giving is £11,000, so a modest request is more likely to fit its scale, though the annual report does not state a grant range.
The annual report and its website publish no application process, so the sensible first step is to contact the foundation through the contact shown there and ask whether a proposal would be welcome.
Neither the annual report nor its website says how the foundation chooses between applications or when it decides, so ask about timing when you make contact.
