Applications for the November 2024 round, close 31 October 2024
Applications can be posted or emailed to atl@dia.govt.nz, marked "Attention Lilburn Trust".
Guidelines:
- Projects should be not-for-profit rather than commercial.
- Requests should be made by publishers, recording companies or supporting organisations rather than from individual composers/authors/performers.
- The Lilburn Trust does not pay "royalties" to publishers, rather it gives subventions toward the costs of publication.
- The Lilburn Trust will not fund the complete cost of a project; some funding from other sources is required.
- Originals of scores/parts recopied for preservation are to be deposited in the Alexander Turnbull Library.
- A report is required from all recipients of Lilburn Trust grants on the completion of the project or – where a project has been delayed – on the date originally given for its completion.
Please note that the Lilburn Trust does not fund the following:
- Commissions of new compositions.
- The production of a score and parts for a new work (these should be funded by the commissioner).
- Learning time for performers.
- Performer travel/accommodation expenses.
- Tertiary study overseas.
