Opportunities to work with us
PRS Foundation Trustee Recruitment
PRS Foundation seeks new Trustees as the charity builds on 25 years of investing in the future of music.
We care about new music and empowering music creators from all backgrounds to fulfil their potential, sustain careers and reach audiences around the world.
We invest, connect and champion music creators through direct grants and through programmes which bolster the music ecosystem around them.
Joining our Board of Trustees is a fantastic opportunity to steer a pioneering and collaborative organisation at a crucial time. We seek to innovate and build upon the impact of our work in the UK and internationally over the next few years, so require passionate Trustees to help us develop talent, build impact and create a genuine legacy.
Eligible candidates will have extensive experience and a track-record within one or more of the following areas:
- Fundraising and income generation, with a particular need to develop strategies around increasing commercial donations and/or attracting individual giving and philanthropic investment
- Grassroots live music experience – those with venue, promoter, festival or other grassroots live music expertise
- Contemporary classical music expertise and networks
- Finance experience at a senior level
Other useful experience:
- People who are passionate about the role of research, evaluation and data within the next phase of the charity’s work
- Candidates with media and communications expertise
- Those with transferable experience in industries outside of music (to give strong ‘outside’ perspectives)
The roles are voluntary, non-executive and with reasonable expenses paid
Prospective applicants should be aware that those who are elected to the PRS Foundation’s Board will no longer be eligible for PRS Foundation funding during their tenure as trustees and should email fiona@prsfoundation.com for more information on conflicts of interest policies regarding third parties or roles on other organisations’ boards. To avoid conflicts of interest we discourage applications from people who work for currently funded Talent Development Network organisations.
