PRS for Music Foundation

PRS for Music Foundation (now PRS Foundation) was established in 2000 as the UK's leading charitable funder of new music across all genres. Founded by PRS for Music, the organization channels royalties and donations into grants that support the creation, performance, and promotion of new work by emerging and mid-career music creators. Its core mission is to nurture talent, encourage risk-taking, and broaden the reach of contemporary music, from grassroots projects to international showcases. The Foundation operates with a dual focus: responsive funding for artists and organizations, and strategic initiatives such as Resonate, which supports the promotion of new music by UK-based artists at key industry events. Its ethos is collaborative and enabling, positioning itself as a catalyst rather than a gatekeeper, and it maintains a clear commitment to diversity, access, and artistic excellence.
