The Open Fund For Music Creators
The Open Fund for Music Creators supports the development of outstanding songwriters and composers of all genres and backgrounds at different stages of their career.

The fund can support projects by songwriters, composers, or artists, bands, producers and performers who are writing their own music or commissioning others.

We understand that music creator needs are different given the current creative and career impact the Covid-19 pandemic is having across the music sector. As such we have adapted the Open Fund and Women Make Music to be more flexible in supporting music creator development needs.

Opening Date: May 2021

The next deadline is: 14 June 2021

Music Creators’ projects must fulfil all three of our funding priorities:

To support the creation, performance and promotion of outstanding new music in any genre:
We are particularly interested in the quality of the music

To enable the UK’s most talented music creators to realise their potential:
We are interested in how your project will develop the songwriters and composers involved

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
