Grant News
The Universal Music UK Sound Foundation (UMUKSF) has launched a new funding round to enable schools across the UK and Ireland to apply for grants of up to £1,000 to improve their pupils' access to music.
The UMUKSF School Awards will fund schools teaching the national curriculum to improve their music departments by purchasing or upgrading musical instruments and equipment.
The Foundation has helped over 10,000 students, schools, and teachers improve their access to music.
Schools must apply individually; trusts or academies cannot submit on behalf of multiple schools. Exclusions include music studios, businesses, private music centers, community projects, and staffing costs for teaching or peripatetic lessons.
The deadline for applications is 1pm on 27th February 2026.
For any questions, email the Foundation at umuksoundfoundation@umusic.com.
