Innovate 2024-25 funding applications open!

Innovate

Are you a creative innovator or trail-blazing organisation working with children and young people? Do you have a spark of an idea and need funding and support in realising your ambition? Then Innovate is for you!

The scheme offers grants of up to £2,000 are available to individuals and organisations with an annual turnover of less than £100k for projects and ideas that will:

• Test a new idea or innovative way of working for you or your organisation.
• Provide a new or innovative activity for young people aged 0-25 who would not normally have access to such activity.
• Enable practitioners to reflect on the process that you, your organisation and the children/young people have experienced, and offer models of best practice which can be shared across the music sector and beyond.

Projects can take place across England. Projects that will take place in Levelling Up for Culture Places or Priority Places as defined by Arts Council England are strongly encouraged.

The Innovate funding can support projects that take place between September 2024 – March 2025.

Deadline for applications – Monday 15 July, 9am.
