Through salaries and grants, we use these funds to send musicians and artists into places where fees are not possible. The work we do couldn't take place if it weren't for the support of these donors. For more information on how we are funded or to find out how to make a donation, visit our funding page. Supporters The Trust has a growing network of friends and supporters without whom the work could not go on. Volunteers, prayer partners, newsletter readers, regular givers, fundraisers, supporting churches - the list goes on. For more information on supporting the Trust, visit our Supporters page.
