Trusts and Foundations

Trusts and Foundations provide vital funding to the RSNO. Their contributions not only support the Orchestra’s work on the concert platform, but they are critical to many of our Learning & Engagement projects, funding valuable work across Scotland’s community, such as our Primary Schools concerts and the RSNO Junior Chorus. You can read about the impact of two of our supporters below, the John Mather Charitable Trust and The Wolfson Foundation.

To find out more about donating to the RSNO from your trust or foundation, please contact either Isabel Lee (Development Manager, Trusts and Foundations) or Nicola McConnell (Trusts and Foundations Officer).

Case Studies

The Wolfson Foundation

The RSNO’s ambition to create truly world-class facilities for our Orchestra was supported by a generous grant from The Wolfson Foundation, in particular allowing us to install state-of-the-art computer notation and digital audio editing facilities in the Wolfson Music Lab.
