About the role
Grant-making to support the music of cathedrals and other choral foundations is a central part of the activities of Cathedral Music Trust. In recent years it has dispersed over £450,000 per annum. Our long-established grant programme now forms part of a more wide-reaching Impact and Delivery department, which aims to support cathedral music through partnership working with key stakeholders across the sector. The Impact and Delivery Manager (Grants) will primarily be responsible for managing the Trust’s grants programmes, working closely with the Grants Panel and its chair, and will have a supporting role on other initiatives.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the charity as it seeks to expand its activities and shape its grants programmes to help choral foundations meet the challenges of sustaining excellent choirs and offering opportunities to child and adult musicians from diverse backgrounds. The Trust has recently commissioned leading arts consultants to undertake research on the future for cathedral music. Our new Impact and Delivery team will lead on the Trust’s response to the recommendations in the report and the Impact and Delivery Manager (Grants) will play an important role within the team’s activities as it works proactively to help sustain a thriving future for the nation’s heritage of cathedral music.
