LIVE Trust has published its initial grant-making strategy, detailing its approach to investing in programmes that protect, expand and support the grassroots music ecosystem across the UK.
Phase One
LIVE Trusts intital Phase One funding will be an opportunity for organisations to apply for funding by invitation of LIVE Trust. This gives the trust an opportunity to:
- Put money immediately where it is most needed and has the most impact, addressing some of the most urgent challenges the sector is facing at this time.
- Build and test robust internal processes at the Trust including; finance, donations, grant management and reporting structures.
During phase one, we’ll fund up to six programmes across the industry that meet LIVE Trust’s objectives. Funded organisations will already exist and have the ability to deliver impactful programmes as soon as possible. We will have a clear application process, ensuring programmes funded are benefiting diverse communities across the UK and supporting grassroots music scenes across all aspects of the ecosystem.
