About this Funding:

Grants are available for schools, community groups, educational establishments, and other not-for-profit organisations across the UK to support initiatives that are seeking to bring music to their communities.

The Music for All Community Grants Programme is for groups that need assistance to fulfil their potential in developing truly sustainable music programmes. Applicants should be based in deprived or marginalised areas and be developing music education for those living in the area, including, but not limited to, social infrastructure.

In the current funding round, support is available in the following distinct areas:

  • Electro-acoustic guitars (to suit varying abilities/levels).
  • Pbuzz instruments.
  • Ukeleles.
  • Keyboard bundles.
  • Drum kits.
  • Orange Crush mini amps.

Priority will be given to applicants who are most in need of help. The charity is unlikely to be able to meet all applications in full, so applicants are strongly advised to apply to other bodies for assistance as well.

The deadline for applications is 7 May 2026.
