Philanthropy plays a significant role in the life of the Academy and supports our mission to develop and educate the musicians of tomorrow.

Having exceeded that target, we extended the Campaign to £100 million.
We are seeking a proactive and highly organised Prospect Research Manager to join the Academy’s dynamic Philanthropy team. In this newly created role, you will collaborate with high-value fundraisers to identify and prioritise individuals and grant-makers aligned with the Academy’s vision.
