Grant News
Youth Music has launched a new funding programme aimed at increasing creativity in early childhood.
The Energiser Fund will award ten organisations with three-year grants of up to £120,000 to deliver creative projects for 2-4-year-olds who face barriers in England.
The funding will support a wide range of creative projects across different art forms that are co-designed with young children, and delivered by organisations seeking to develop their co-design practice.
The types of organisations supported by the fund could include:
- A theatre company that specialises in work for early years
- A maintained nursery school that centres creativity in their curriculum
- A small CIC comprising freelancers delivering music and movement projects with 2-4-year-olds in a variety of community settings
- A museum or library that programmes literature and art activities for 0-5s and their families
Organisations will also be invited to participate in a programme of workshops, reflection sessions, and mentoring.
At least 20% match funding is required.
The deadline for applications is 5pm on the 5th April 2024.
