ERIC THOMPSON CHARITABLE TRUST FOR ORGANISTS AND ORGAN MUSIC

The Trust aims to provide grants to help aspiring professional organists. Preference will be given to students seeking assistance towards special projects, rather than continuing academic tuition. The Flentrop scholarship awarded annually allows a student to spend two weeks in Holland with Flentrop, organ builders. The ETT Annual Award funds a candidate in a project related to the organ.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There has been strong growth in spending over the last 5 years

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
