fundraising and finance
London Music Masters is an organisation on a powerful mission – with a long-term
vision for change. We take great pride in having raised substantial support from
individuals, trusts, foundations, and corporate partners. In 2016/17, voluntary
donations made up over 80% of our income. The remainder comes from fees
charged to schools for our services. The lack of funding for state schools is never
far from the headlines and we work hard to ensure that costs are as low as possible
whilst delivering a world-class experience for the students. Each of our partner
schools invests significant resources into the music education of their students
by partnering with us. This year alone the investment from voluntary donors and
schools helped us provide tailored tuition and outstanding musical experiences to
1,400 young instrumentalists who each receive their own instrument and 1.5 hours
of tuition per week. We believe that the acquisition of musical skills is only the
beginning of the impact that this investment will have.
London Music Masters currently has a team of three fundraisers – all committed to
maintaining the highest possible principles when fundraising. We are members of
the Fundraising Regulator and are committed to abiding by current legislation and
best practice.
We are always looking for additional voluntary income and are actively seeking
corporate partners to help implement our ambitious strategic plans. If you
would like to find out more about supporting the work we do, please contact
