Grant: £500-£5,000
Deadline: end of February 2026
The Wise Music Foundation is inviting applications for its quarterly grants programme, offering awards typically ranging from £500 to £5,000, with an average grant of £1,500. The Foundation prioritises smaller UK charities with an annual turnover of up to £500,000, particularly those supporting people experiencing hardship, distress, illness, homelessness, poverty, or other vulnerabilities.
Trustees meet four times a year (March, June, September and December) so applications must be submitted via the Foundation’s website before the relevant deadline (end of February, May, August or November). Charities may apply once per calendar year, and due to high demand, unsuccessful applicants may not receive a notification but are encouraged to reapply in future cycles.
