About Us > How to become friend of foundation

How you can help
To realise our vision for The Richard Hickox Foundation we need the help of those organisations and individuals who believed in Richard and who cherish his memory. Many will want to support us even if they did not know Richard personally, for they responded wholeheartedly to his music making as it touched their hearts. There are two levels of support as follows: 
 
Corporate Friends 
  Open to those opera houses, orchestras, choral societies, record companies and other organisations who had a close working relationship with Richard Hickox. There is a minimum level of support of £10,000 for a three-year period. Benefits include:
  » A seat on the Foundation Advisory Panel that will help shape the work of the Foundation 
  » Identification of the organisation, and use of its logo as appropriate, on all official documents, programmes, web-sites and other publicity channels used by the Foundation world-wide. Links between relevant web-sites will be facilitated. 
  » Guaranteed invitations to formal events organised by the Foundation 
  » Receipt of an Annual Report on the work of the Foundation 
   
  For registered charities, it will be possible to help the Foundation by raising the minimum level of financial support through events, concerts, auctions and other fund-raising mechanisms in lieu of a direct grant. 
   

Individual Friends 
  Open to those who feel a special affinity for Richard. Friends are invited to pay a minimum of £100 for a three year period. Benefits include: 
  » Complimentary CD of any recordings directly sponsored by the Foundation 
  » Receipt of an Annual Report on the work of the Foundation 
  » A complimentary copy of the interview with Richard Hickox by Stephen Connock at the British Library on 22 November, 2008 – his last public event. 
  » Names of all individual supporters to be listed on our website, unless anonymity is requested. 
     
Foundation Advisory Panel 
  A seat on the Foundation Advisory Panel is available for all Friends who pledge over £1000 for a three year period of membership. Further details, including benefits, will be provided on request.
