Maintaining the competition’s exceptionally high standards requires considerable financial support.

Individual Giving plays a vital role in making this possible.

While public sector funding played a crucial role in supporting the competition during its early years, this funding has gradually diminished over time, leading the competition to become fully reliant on the generosity of individual donors and other supporters. As a result, every donation is essential in maintaining the competition's high standards and ensuring its continued success. By supporting SIPC, donors not only help sustain a world-class cultural event but also demonstrate a strong commitment to the arts in Scotland. Their contributions make it possible to deliver a prestigious international music competition in Glasgow, which provides invaluable opportunities for emerging talent and strengthens Scotland's position as a hub for cultural excellence.
