A MAJOR RESOURCE FOR THE FLUTE COMMUNITY

In 1994, Brannen Brothers Flutemakers, Inc. established The Brannen-Cooper Fund to honor Albert K. Cooper's lifelong contributions to the art and science of flutemaking. The Fund's ultimate goal is to help provide activities that contribute to the skills, education and enjoyment of flutists at all levels of proficiency. It is our company's way of thanking both our customers and the entire flute-playing community for making us the highly successful company we are today.

WHAT TYPES OF ACTIVITIES DO WE HELP FUND?
Our principal focus is to assist in the funding of masterclasses, concerts and flute choir coaching. We are also pleased to make some of our resources available for commissioning new music.

WHO MAY APPLY FOR FUNDS?
Any flute-related organization, music school, or music department in any country may submit an application for funding. An organization does not need to be incorporated to apply for a grant. However, if it is incorporated, it must be a nonprofit corporation.

WHAT IS THE TIMETABLE FOR SUBMISSION OF NEW MUSIC COMMISSION APPLICATIONS?

Awards for commissioning new music are made once a year. These applications are due by February 1, 2008. New music commissions cannot be considered for funding, if any part of the work is to be published or premiered before the award date, which is April 1, 2008.
