Women Make Music report 2011 – 2022

Over £1.46 million has been invested in more than 380 women and gender expansive music creators since 2011 through our ground-breaking Women Make Music fund. And with 4,706 applications so far, the fund has seen a 340% increase in demand for Women Make Music support since its launch, to the point that only 8% of exciting applicants (and only 6% of applicants in the last 5 years) could be supported and highlighting the wealth of talented women and gender expansive music creators based in the UK.

Today in 2023, 98% of grantees agree that the fund is still needed.
