Als Mäzenin der Künste und der Wissenschaften hat Anne Gruner Schlumberger zeitgenössische Komponisten wie Roger Blanchard (1919-2011), Erich Itor Kahn (1905-1956) und Gérard Grisey (1946-1998) unterstützt.

Der Preis besteht aus einem dreimonatigen Aufenthalt in der Domaine des Treilles (Var) mit einer monatlichen Vergütung von 2 650 €, die je nach Dauer des Aufenthalts gezahlt wird.
