In 2025, the Trust will continue to focus on one area of performing arts in each grant round.
The first funding round of 2025 will focus on supporting local music festivals. Music education and engagement projects for children will be considered at every grant round.
Priority will be given to small-to-medium-sized organisations. Most grants will be awarded for specific projects, but the Trust will also contribute towards the core costs of smaller organisations where a grant could make an impact. Both one-off and multi-year grants will be considered.
There is a two-stage application process. Groups must first complete and eligibility check before being invited to submit a Stage 1 application.
