Funding To Support Women Making Music (UK)

The PRS for Music Foundation is offering grants of up to £5,000 through their Women Make Music Grant Scheme to raise the profile of women who are making music in the UK. Women Make Music seeks to supports organisations to commission a new piece of music by UK-based women music creators working in any genre. Promoters, festivals, organisations and performance groups may also apply. Funding can be used towards the costs of first performances and/or fee for the music creator. Work that encourages new and adventurous collaborations will be priority. Women Make Music is also keen to support women performers/creators to write new tracks/pieces that they will perform live before the 8th March 2012. The premiere performance must be promoted or produced by a third party. Funding can be used to assist in the costs of the first performance.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on the 8th August 2011.
