In 2002, the physicist and mathematician Prof. Wolfgang Fischer (1926-2003), who worked in Würzburg, established the Wolfgang Fischer and Maria Fischer-Flach Foundation. In addition to his teaching activities in the natural sciences, he was particularly interested in classical music. The purpose of the foundation is to honor special artistic achievements by students at the Hochschule für Musik. The annual chamber music competition for the Wolfgang Fischer and Maria Fischer-Flach Prize fulfills this task.

Leni Geissler (1902-1987) was a piano student at the Royal Conservatory in Würzburg from 1917 and a piano lecturer at the Bavarian State Conservatory of Music in Würzburg from 1956 to 1971. In memory of the pianist, who was a friend of Edwin Fischer and Walter Gieseking, the Leni Geissler Foundation was established in 1988, the proceeds of which have since been "made available for the promotion and education of qualified students in need."

The Stephan and Hermine Werner Foundation was established by Mrs. Werner in 2011. Its purpose is to provide sustainable support for students and to promote Franconian music. Mrs. Hermine Werner (1926-2018) and her husband, Mr. Stephan Werner (1924-2009), founders of the Sing- und Musikschule Würzburg as well as the Fachakademie für Musik Würzburg, had decided to contribute their joint estate to a foundation, thereby providing an incentive for other people to follow suit. The Werner couple had already donated sheet music, musical literature and instruments as well as sound recordings to our college.
