THE MUSICA BRITANNICA TRUST

The Trust promotes, supports, and develops research into British music by the continuing publication of Musica Britannica and by awarding grants to support new recordings of the Musica Britannica repertoire.Additionally, the Trust runs the annual Lewis Memorial Prize to provide support and opportunities for student performers.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of gender and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently but spending has been maintained
