PRS Members' Fund

PRS Members' Fund The PRS Members’ Fund provides financial support and advice to PRS members, ex-members and their families in times of need.

If you, or someone you know can benefit from our support, get in touch now to see if you’re eligible. The PRS Members' Fund was formed in 1934 to support songwriters and composers during the Great Depression. Over 80 years later we continue to be there for PRS for Music members and their dependants in times of crisis, thanks to the generosity of our supporters. We all know the music business can be unpredictable and demanding, and even after periods of success it can be precarious with no guarantee of earnings. This means that when crisis hits such as illness, accident or emotional breakdown, there may be no safety net. We provide financial help to PRS for Music members, ex-members, and their immediate families in times of financial difficulty or when they are unable to work because of illness, accident or disability.

is here, and our hearts are completely full! 🥰✨

There is nothing quite like seeing the real-world impact of our community’s support. We recently caught up with PRS for Music member Ella Grace, who shared what her Summer Support grant meant to her family this year:

💬 "The PRS Summer Support Grant has been so incredibly helpful, providing much needed financial support over the long summer break and helping us to create lasting memories as a family. Support like this makes balancing life as a mother and music creator much easier - thank you so much."

Moments like this remind us exactly why we do what we do. When we support a music creator, we aren’t just helping an individual — we are supporting entire families, easing burdens, and helping create beautiful, lasting memories. Hearing that Ella could thrive as both a mother and a creator is the ultimate Friday feeling! 🎶💜

⚠️ Please note: Our Summer Support scheme is now closed for the season.

If you are a PRS for Music member navigating a challenging time, we are always here for you. Head to our website to explore our year-round initiatives, mental health resources, and financial welfare grants: prsmembersfund.com 💜

✨ Feel Good Friday ✨

“The Members’ Fund was there for me when no one else was, helping me in so many ways, from financing reading glasses to paying for household items when I recently moved. To be honest, I don’t know what I would have done in those moments without the Fund’s generous support!” 🎶❤️

We are incredibly moved by these words from a songwriter we supported. Whether it’s an unexpected life transition, a small everyday essential, or a major hurdle, we exist to ensure no music creator has to face tough times alone.

If you are a PRS for Music member going through a difficult period, please know that we are here for you. Beyond financial hardship grants, we offer emotional and physical wellbeing resources – including free access to the InTune app to help you manage daily stress and support your mental health.
