Annual Fund
The Annual Fund raises approximately £250,000 each year to support the work of Glyndebourne's technical and artistic teams. Donations both large and small to the Annual Fund are invaluable in enabling us to provide support wherever it is needed and so maintain our standards of excellence.
In previous years the money raised helped to replace the dimmer system for the auditorium, new cutting and moulding machinery, as well as an extension to our props workshops. Please support the Glyndebourne Annual Fund, with your help we can preserve Glyndebourne as a world-class opera house for generations to come.

New Generation Fund
Glyndebourne needs your help to secure investment in the next generation. The New Generation Fund has been established to support Glyndebourne’s long-term artistic and audience development plans. In addition to supporting some of our current programmes we have ambitious plans to develop new artists, composers, technical staff and audiences for opera. Our aim is to raise £10 million in 10 years for the New Generation Fund.
Every pound we raise brings us closer to securing the objectives of this fund. To find out more about supporting the New Generation Fund please contact:

Young Artists
There are also opportunities to support young artists through our Understudy Programme and Musical Preparation Scheme, which supports assistant conductors, repetiteurs, and language coaches throughout our intensive rehearsal period, as well as the Glyndebourne Chorus.
Education
You might also be interested in our Education programme, described by The Independent as ‘the most imaginative opera-education department in the country'. Our work to develop knowledge and appreciation of opera in both children and adults involves a year round programme of activities including running Youth Opera workshops, Opera Experience which accompanies our Tour and introduces young people to opera, annual Schools' Matinees, a three year project at HMP Lewes, pre-performance talks, international projects and creative partnerships with local organisations.
