Support for schools:
- Funding Music Education in Your School | Music Mark – A free guide from Music Mark on how to fund music education in your school.
- UMUK Sound Foundation – The Foundation has helped over 10,000 schools, individual students and teachers improve their access to music through the purchase or upgrade of musical instruments and equipment.
- Music for All | Music Charity in the UK | Music Funding & Grants – Established 30 years ago, Music for All has a track record in providing support. Over the past five years alone we have awarded over £450,000 in cash grants, donated instruments and equipment to hundreds of individuals, community groups and educational establishments.
- Home – BlueSpark Foundation – BlueSpark provides funding for instruments, tuition and performance opportunities. These projects help to nurture musical, singing and dancing talent and give young people the chance to develop their skills while working together with other young people.
Support for individuals in your school:
- Valentine Alcock Scholarship – Music grants for young people – We are a small, family-run charity. Each year, we help a number of young people to develop their skills in playing a musical instrument by paying part or all the costs involved in their attendance at an educational activity.
- Changing Key Dorset – The Richard Ely Bursary Scheme provides one-off payments, or, in appropriate circumstances, ongoing funding, to meet the cost support to access music-making for individuals.
- About — JTYAF – The John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation supports young people from a wide range of youth organisations in Dorset and Wiltshire, providing them with scholarships and bursaries to support their personal development and the pursuit of their ambitions.
