Musicians Benevolent Fund

The MBF is financed solely by donations and legacies from music lovers. Every year we spend over £2 million helping around 1,500 music professionals - and their dependants - in need, and a further £435,424 on awards for outstanding young musicians. Every grant is meant, not as charity, but as an expression of thanks from the public to musicians.
