We’re delighted to announce that applications for Round Two of the Essentials Fund are now open.
Created to address the ever-increasing financial challenges of emerging and original music creators in the UK, this fund was established to provide vital financial support—helping artists overcome barriers and secure the essential tools and resources they need. It stands as a testament to our enduring commitment to empowering artists, having awarded over £250,000 in grants over the past five years.
The response to Round One was truly astounding. With a record-breaking 230+ applications, our panel awarded grants to 11 outstanding recipients, representing the immense talent, diversity, and creativity within the UK’s music-making community, spanning a wide range of genres and creative approaches.
Applications for Round Two are now open and close on Thursday 20 March 2025, at midnight.
