Micro Grants For Professional Folk Artists

Thanks to donations we are delighted to announce a fourth year of Micro Grants for Professional Folk Artists who live and work in England.  

Applications for 2024 are now closed.

Seven grants have been offered to folk artists to support anything that will help develop their professional career. This could be: 

• Time to develop creative projects
• Support for the production of new albums
• Instrument purchase
• Technical equipment purchase (eg portable sound equipment)
• Other training and development activities (including courses) 

This list is not exhaustive

Applicants can be at any stage of their career but must be working as a professional artist in the folk arts (eg music, dance, storytelling). Applications will be accepted from individuals and groups of artists. The maximum award to each successful application will be £500 regardless of the number of artists involved in the application.
