Longplayer is looked after by the Longplayer Trust, which is a nonprofit charitable organization (see here for more information). We rely completely on private donations and grants to keep Longplayer widely and freely available, to fund its upkeep, and to research and implement strategies for its survival.
In addition to running the live stream and the flagship listening post at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London, the Trust oversees production of the Longplayer Live performances, the first of which took place in September 2009 (see here).
Bottom-line overheads for the Trust include £1500 a year for the running of the live stream and £250 a month to keep the Lighthouse open to the public. For this, as for all things, Longplayer must depend on support from the public.
Every gift is important to us, however small, and there are several ways you can help:
