FUNDING SOURCES

Please be aware that ‘Music. Play for Life’ does not provide grants or funding. Some of our campaigns, such as the FLAME Awards and the Music in Communities Awards, offer prize money. Other than these, there are no funds available for us to help with your music project, however worthy it is. Instead, we keep our ear to the ground about funding sources and list them here. If you know of any others, please let us know to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
