DCSF invites bids for music project funding

Posted: 23 January 2009

Regularly funded arts organisations and Local Authorities invited to apply for extra funding

The Department for Children, Schools and Families, working with the Department for Culture Media and Sport and Arts Council England, is inviting bids from Regularly Funded Arts organisations (RFOs), Local Authorities and others currently working collaboratively, for pump-priming funding to develop, or extend, strands of music activity for young people delivered through partnership working. Support would be for one year and is expected to fund the project activity only.

Bids will need to demonstrate that the main bid partners already have effective partnership arrangements in place, which are actively supported by established organisations with experience of delivering musical opportunities to young people. Partners should include at least one Local Authority and an RFO.

Up to £1 million is available in total to support up to five projects in 2009/10. It is not expected to support bids for projects which are significantly concerned with singing, for which the Government is providing funding support of £10 million a year up to 2011.

For further details, including a specification, please email: Catherine.Brown@dcsf.gsi.gov.uk no later than Friday 20 February 2009.
