Inspired by models like the Vaughan Williams Foundation, Holst Foundation, and Britten Pears Foundation, this fund will be built from posthumous royalties. However, the vision for this Trust is that, in keeping with shifts in the sector, it will use a crowdfunding model and be built on the support of hundreds of composers choosing to donate a small percentage of their posthumous royalties.

In the short to medium term, it is envisaged that the fund will be launched through a public campaign, with a particular focus on encouraging legacy contributions to support future generations of music creators.
