In accordance with the Intellectual Property Code, the SCPP invests some of the fees that it receives for equitable remuneration and private copying in assisting artistic creation, live shows and artist education.
The Commission d’Aide à la Création (creation assistance board)
Each month, a nine-member board elected each year by the general assembly of the SCPP examines applications for grants and submits its proposals to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors decides on the grant awards and the SCPP monitors the progress of each project supported.
The following are eligible for grants:
- sound recording producers, whether SCPP members or not;
- professional organisations in charge of projects of collective interest.
- Grants awarded by the SCPP
- Agreements with concert venues
To help producers promote their artists when they issue a new album, the SCPP, alongside existing forms of assistance, has signed agreements with more than a dozen concert venues including Le New Casino, Le Cabaret Sauvage, Le New Morning and La Maroquinerie.
The SCPP supports organisations that contribute to live shows, musical creation and artist education:
• Bureau Export de la Musique Française;
• Francophonie Diffusion;
• Zone Franche;
• FCM (musical creation fund);
• FAM (musical broadcasting fund);
• Victoires Classiques and Variétés;
• Django d’Or;
• Rencontres d’Astaffort;
• Association Prix Constantin;
• FAIR;
