The Open Fund for Organisations supports new music projects led by promoters, talent development organisations, venues, curators and large performance groups. Projects must involve the creation, performance and promotion of new music and enable songwriters, composers, or solo artists, bands, producers and performers of all backgrounds to develop creatively and professionally. 
Support is available to any organisation whose project fits with all three funding priorities:
1. To support the creation, performance and promotion of outstanding new music in any genre – The Fund is particularly interested in the quality of the music
2. To enable the UK’s most talented music creators to realise their potential – The Fund is interested in how your project will develop the songwriters and composers involved.
3. To inspire audiences – You will be asked to outline who you are reaching and how. This includes audiences at a local, regional, national or international level
Through The Open Fund, high quality new music projects are supported which have tangible musical outcomes and a clearly defined start and end date.
The Open Fund is available to any not-for-profit organisation based in the UK with an eligible project. This includes: Promoters; Festivals; Orchestras and large ensembles; Talent development or composer development organisations; Venues; and Curators.
Grants of up to £10,000 are available
The application is a 2 stage process. Only those with successful 1st stage applications will be asked to continue on to the 2nd stage where there will be an opportunity to add new and updated information.
