How to apply

To apply, start a new application online.

Choose Project Grants: Supporting

Grassroots Live Music from the list.

At the start, we will ask you if:

your work focuses on hosting and promoting live music, and your project focuses on hosting and promoting live music

Tick yes to both. You will be applying to

Supporting Grassroots Live Music,

rather than the main programme.

This means your application will not be

in competition with applications from other disciplines like Theatre, Visual

Arts, Museums or big music venues.

It's just for Grassroots Music.

In the next few pages, we'll go over the four main parts of the form, and what we expect to see.

Things to remember about budgets

We can't support fundraising or profit-

making projects. Your income must match your expenditure.

Include any expected ticket sales in your

project income

If you are taking a payment for your

services, that's fine. Include it in the expenditure

You don't have to put bar or food sales

towards the project if you don't want to or can't afford it

We want to see artists paid fairly. We'd

rather see good wages in place than a cheap project where people aren't being paid properly

Check out the Musicians Union's

guidance on fees and payments for more help on this.

help run your project? If so, what will they do?

For example, you might write something like:

Attitude is Everything

- helping me improve the accessibility of my venue

ABC Marketing - helping me contact people to

come and see my shows

Where will your project happen?

If you're doing a tour of venues, have you spoken

to or booked the places it will happen?

What are the different parts of your

project and when will they happen?

Include things like: meetings, research, travel,

workshops, shows and time for evaluation.

Finding out if your project was a success

At the end of your project, it is important

to find out how it went. How will you do this?

Think about what you said you wanted

to get out of your project

Think about the different people you can

ask like artists, audiences or partne rs

For example, you might write something like:

I will ask my partners to answer a list of

questions about the project I will ask people in the audience what they got out of the show

I will read reviews of the show

I will count the number of tickets we sold

I will write about what I learned and how this

can help me on my next project

Useful Tips

Even if you are not applying for your

future programme, you can still tell us about it. We want to hear how your project will help your work in the future.

For example, if your application is about

buying equipment, or doing building work, it might not include shows at all

In this case, tell us how this will help

you r live shows in the future

Will it help you improve the live show

quality or programme more artists?

Who will be playing?

Will it mean more people can access

your venue?

Will it make your venue more resilient or

environmentally friendly?
