Many important musical projects focus on inspiring the next generation or making music accessible to people who might not otherwise have the opportunity to participate.

Suitable projects could include youth orchestras, educational workshops, school partnerships, masterclasses, mentoring programmes, music camps, outreach concerts and projects designed to widen participation in music.

Musicians and organisations occasionally require significant investment in instruments or specialist equipment that cannot easily be funded through normal income.

Projects might include the purchase of concert instruments, historical instruments, specialist recording equipment, accessibility equipment or other essential resources that directly support musical performance, education or research.

Competitions, scholarships and performance opportunities often play an important role in supporting musicians at every stage of their careers. FundMyMusic welcomes projects that help talented musicians prepare for, participate in or benefit from significant musical opportunities.

Examples might include competition preparation, travel to international competitions, audition expenses, specialist coaching, accompanists, masterclasses or projects that enable musicians to take advantage of important career opportunities.
