Funding to Support Young Creatives to Launch a Project, Idea or Business (Oct ’24)
Youth Music has announced that around 10 0f its NextGen Fund has reopened for applications.
The fund supports emerging musicians and behind-the-scenes creatives aged 18-25 (and under-30s who identify as d/Deaf or Disabled) from across the UK to launch a creative project, idea or business.
Grants of up to £2,500 are available to help people, including singers, songwriters, producers, DJs, managers and agents who do not have the financial means to invest in themselves, to start a record label, launch a single, or provide a platform that supports underrepresented voices.
Funding can also cover costs linked to career development, audience development or marketing, equipment and software, and business development.
In addition, Youth Music offers support to applicants who identify as disabled through the Application Access Fund. This fund provides funding to cover any additional access costs that might be required to apply to one of Youth Music’s main grant funds.
The closing date for applications will be the 15th November 2024.
