The Open Fund for Music Creators

The Open Fund for Music Creators

The Open Fund for Music Creators supports the development of outstanding music creators of all genres and backgrounds at different stages of their career with grants of up to £5000.

Previous recipients include Young Fathers, Afrodeutsche, Jasdeep Singh and Ruth Lyon

In order to be eligible Music Creators’ projects must fulfil all three of our funding priorities:

  • To support the creation, performance and promotion of outstanding new music in any genre

We are particularly interested in the quality of the music

  • To enable the UK’s most talented music creators to realise their potential

We are interested in how your project will develop the music creators involved. You will need to tell us why this particular activity is so crucial to your creative or professional development. If you are a small performance group commissioning others, you will need to explain why your project is so important to the music creators you are working with. We are committed to supporting UK based songwriters and composers of all backgrounds

  • To reach audiences

You will be asked to outline who you are reaching and how this will benefit the music creators in your application. This includes audiences at a local, regional, national or international level
