How are you funded?

We collect a contribution of £1 per ticket sold for events above 5,000 capacity. Organisers, promoters, artists or venues can choose to put this contribution on their shows across the UK. We receive those funds after a show or tour has taken place. 

Can I contribute?

If you are an artist, manager, promoter, festival, or venue and you operate within the threshold of shows that reach over 5,000 capacity, then yes! You are able to contribute £1 from your ticket sales directly to LIVE Trust. You can get in touch with our team directly to discuss. 

Can I get funding?

At the moment we are running ‘Phase One’ of our funding strategy, getting money out quickly to organisations that are currently operating and running programmes that protect, expand and support the grassroots sector, this first phase is invitation only. 

We’ll be running ‘Phase Two’ of funding, from spring 2026. You can sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear about it.

How do I contact you?
