Resources | Page 9 | Making Music

We know that searching for grants and funding for your projects or initiatives can be hard. That's why we've created this simple search to help you identify sources of funding for leisure-time music groups, from local councils to international grant-giving organisations.

Since Local Authorities often offer advice and tools as well as funding, we've also created a separate LA website index as a quick and easy way of finding the relevant page on your Local Authority's website for all they have to offer in the way of help.

Can’t find anything that meets your needs? We're always adding new grants as we come across them, and our funding volunteers may also be able to help with research into your particular requirements. Contact us to put in a request, or to let us know if you think we've missed something in the listings.
