Founded in 1981 by Imogen Holst , the daughter of Gustav Holst, the Holst Foundation is a grant-giving charity whose funds were for more than 30 years directed primarily towards the performance and recording of music by living composers. The Foundation continues to administer the estates of both Imogen and Gustav Holst; applications for grants are no longer accepted.
