Alongside artistic excellence, fundraising has been vital to AAM’s success since it registered as a charity in 2000. The orchestra’s financial strength stems from the ongoing generosity of an ever-expanding family of supporters who donated more than £430k last year to sustain AAM’s work.
Overall, the orchestra is funded by a mixture of income generated by concerts in the UK and abroad, royalties and other residuals, Orchestra Tax Relief and a large group of private donors (individuals and trusts & foundations). AAM does not receive regular public funding, though the current season marks the beginning of a four-year collaboration with the Arts and Humanities Research Council which will have a significant impact on the core funding of the organisation, as well as our ability to deliver several extraordinary projects.
Individual giving at AAM is supported by three membership schemes: Academy, Associates and Friends. Together, these make up the orchestra’s closest group of supporters. These individuals are at the heart of our work, and we are committed to developing deep and long-lasting relationships with them all. Alongside membership, the AAM Legacy Circle was established in 2013 to recognise AAM supporters who have informed us of their intention to remember the orchestra in their wills. Dame Emma Kirkby, one of AAM’s most distinguished collaborators, is the Circle’s Founder Patron. To date, the vast majority of individual giving has been from UK residents, though we plan to explore investment strategies in the coming years to increase our presence in North America, hopefully driving capacity for giving there.
AAM has an established track record of generous support from trusts & foundations, as well as from public funders. The orchestra was an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation from 2012-15 and has received numerous Grants for the Arts and other support from that funding body. Further, our current season is the first of four to be sponsored by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, a division of UK Research and Innovation.
Coming seasons will see continued expansion of our international touring work, delivery of several significant recorded, filmed and digital initiatives, and the further development of AAMplify Artists, our innovative side-by-side education scheme.
