Milton Keynes Youth Music Fund

Grants for group music projects for under-21s across Milton Keynes.

Everything you need to know before applying

The Milton Keynes Youth Music Fund backs music projects that help young people build confidence, friendships and skills by making music together, rather than on their own.

Before committing to an application, please make sure that your organisation and project are eligible for funding and that you have read our grants policy in full.

Who can apply?

Not-for-profit groups and organisations that support young people through music can apply, provided your project:

be open to anyone who wants to take part, rather than a select few
involve young people aged under 21, who must make up at least 90% of those taking part
bring people together to make music in any genre or style, whether that's a choir, a band, a production project or something else entirely (this fund doesn't cover dance)
centre on group participation, since the fund seeks to support shared experiences rather than individual lessons or training

Where do I apply?

Apply through one of our grant programmes, whichever fits the size of your project.

All three pages have full details on eligibility, required documents, and how to apply. You'll need to meet our general funding criteria too (a constituted, not-for-profit group based in or benefiting Milton Keynes, with a project that hasn't started yet).
